Kauvery Hospital, Radial Road, Launches Specialised Clinics in Neurology and Brain & Spine Surgery
- Pioneering a New Era in Patient-Centred Neurosciences Care
Chennai, 21 August, 2025 – In a significant step towards advancing excellence
in neurosciences, Kauvery
Hospital, Radial Road, proudly announces the launch of
Specialised Clinics in Neurology and Brain & Spine Surgery, along with the
introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Stroke Services. This
transformative initiative is designed to enhance the diagnosis, treatment, and
comprehensive management of neurological and neurosurgical conditions,
reflecting the hospital’s unwavering commitment to innovation, expertise, and
patient-centric care.
A Transformative Approach to Neurosciences Care
With the global incidence of neurological and spinal
disorders on the rise, there is a critical need for integrated healthcare that
combines advanced technology with clinical expertise. At the forefront of this
evolution is the Kauvery Institute of Brain and Spine (KIBS), home to a
multidisciplinary team of leading neurologists, neurosurgeons,
neuroradiologists, neuropsychologists, critical care experts, physiotherapists,
nurses, and rehabilitation specialists. Under the leadership of Dr Krish
Sridhar, one of India’s most respected neurosurgeons, this team has worked over
the past two years in a seamlessly integrated model that prioritises
collaborative and coordinated care—all under one roof.
AI in Stroke Care – A Breakthrough for Early
Intervention
According to the World Stroke Organisation, by 2050, an
estimated 87% of the global stroke burden will be in low- and middle-income
countries (LMICs). Stroke is currently the second-leading cause of death
worldwide, and 1 in 4 people over the age of 25 is expected to experience a
stroke in their lifetime.
The last decade has seen groundbreaking developments in
treatment, including intravenous “clot buster” drugs and mechanical
thrombectomy, making it possible to reverse stroke damage if treated early.
Building on this momentum, Kauvery Hospital, Radial Road, has introduced an
AI-driven hub-and-spoke approach to stroke care—a first-of-its-kind
breakthrough in the region.
By harnessing AI’s capabilities, clinicians can now make
faster, more accurate decisions, significantly improving patient outcomes
through earlier detection. Studies have shown that AI-driven stroke care can
increase early life-saving interventions within the golden hour by up to six
times and reduce treatment time by over 25%, giving patients a far greater
chance of recovery without disability.
Scope of the Specialised Clinics
The newly launched clinics will
provide focused expertise in the following areas:
●
Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders
●
Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders
●
Atypical Facial Pain
●
Spine Deformities
The uniqueness of these clinics is the multi-specialist
consultation model—patients are evaluated by a panel of experts who
collaboratively discuss and finalise each care plan, ensuring accuracy, holistic
understanding, and individualised treatment.
The hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic
and therapeutic tools, including advanced MRI and CT imaging, digital video EEG
monitoring, intraoperative neuronavigation, and minimally invasive surgical
equipment.
Integrated Neuro Care – A Collaborative Model
The cornerstone of these specialised clinics is “Integrated
Neuro Care”—a pioneering, interdisciplinary approach where experts from
multiple specialities jointly assess, treat, and follow up each case. From
initial consultation to rehabilitation, patients benefit from streamlined,
team-based care that addresses both medical and psychosocial dimensions of
neurological illness.
Clinical Excellence and Technological Leadership
Kauvery Hospital, Radial Road, is staffed by a
distinguished team of neurologists and neurosurgeons skilled in cutting-edge
procedures, including:
●
Endoscopic brain surgery
●
Minimally invasive spine surgery
●
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for movement
disorders
●
Advanced therapies for drug-resistant epilepsy
These advanced treatments ensure that patients have access
to the most effective and least invasive solutions available globally.
Driving Research, Innovation, and Education
Beyond clinical excellence, KIBS is committed to shaping
the future of neurosciences through research, clinical trials, and academic
collaborations. The specialised clinics will also function as centres of
excellence for training and translational research, giving patients access to
the latest global innovations in neurological care.
Leadership Message
“Launching these specialised clinics is a milestone in our
ongoing efforts to provide the best possible care to patients with neurological
and neurosurgical needs. These chosen clinics represent areas in healthcare
that are common problems in society but can occasionally be a challenge to
diagnose and manage. A focused approach with interdisciplinary care will help
those suffering from these ailments and will be able to offer them solutions that
are of international standards,” said Dr K Sridhar, Group Mentor and Director
of the Kauvery Institute of Brain and Spine. “Our mission is to blend
technological excellence, compassionate care, and collaborative expertise,
ensuring that every patient receives care tailored to their unique
circumstances.”
Dr Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-Founder & Executive Director,
Kauvery Group of Hospitals, also said, “The pace of innovation in neurosciences
is truly remarkable. With the integration of advanced imaging, minimally
invasive surgical techniques, and now artificial intelligence, we are entering
a new era in brain and spine care. These technologies allow us to diagnose with
greater accuracy, intervene earlier, and offer treatments that were unthinkable
just a decade ago. At Kauvery, our goal is to ensure that patients in our
community have access to this world-class care, where technology and
compassionate expertise go hand-in-hand.”
