Testimonials
- I consulted Dr Anirudh upon the reference of Dr.Rajesh, an eye specialist, when I was diagnosed with pituitary adenoma in the brain. That was the time when the entire family was in shock and despair. Dr. Anirudh suggested multiple tests to confirm the type of tumour before finalising the treatment option. Test results ruled out the possibility of treatment with medicines. Surgery was the only option. Dr.Anirudh asked me to read about the surgical procedure and get back to him with questions. During the next visit he happily explained and answered all the queries that I had. My tumour was quite big, and the preferred surgical method was endoscopic endonasal approach. This meant that the success of the surgery depended completely on the surgical skills of the neurosurgeon!! The surgery was a little risky one as the tumour was non-homogenous and had occupied the areas of the brain where nerves responsible for the movement of eye ball and the major blood vessels to the brain were also residing. Dr Anirudh lead the surgery along with Dr. Harisha and a group of neurosurgeons at Vikram hospital, Bangalore. Surgery was successful and I regained my partially lost eye sight. I was back home after the surgery in a week’s time and was back to my normal routine in a month. I can vouch for the skills of Dr. Anirudh now. He is also one of the experts in performing endoscopic brain surgeries. My experience with this case is an example for that.
