Kauvery Hospital, Radial Road, Launches Specialised Clinics in Neurology and Brain & Spine Surgery

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.”
