A remarkable achievement by Dr Sudish Karunakaran and the team of Neurosurgery at VPS Lakeshore.

Iman, a 14-year-old Omani girl successfully underwent a complicated craniotomy for a brain tumor. The tumor was located very close to the speech centre of the brain, so she has undergone a procedure called 'awake craniotomy', to make sure that the surgery is not causing any damage to her speaking ability. Over coming all these complications, Iman is back to her normal life now. Congrats to the team Neurosurgery and the brilliant Iman.

The importance of HELMETS as protective gear for two wheeler users cannot be taken lightly.
The amount of controversy regarding the compulsory use of HELMETS for PILLION RIDERS is really disappointing. Sharing this video for those who still doubt the need for PILLION RIDER HELMETS for two wheelers.

This is Sooraj Saju who was a PILLION rider going to see a temple festival in Kanichakulangara and suffered this horrendous head injury in March 2018.
Though his life could be saved, the trauma that he and his family suffers on a daily basis is unimaginable.
PLEASE REMEMBER HELMETS FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES. BE SAFE🙏🏻

An Event to remember .
My brother Mohammed Nasimudheen K. T. 26 years old electrician from Androth Lakshadweep who was trying to install a fan on 14/05/2020 had a fall as the ladder he was on ,skidded. He lost his consciousness and injury sustained to head with a large bleeding wound behind his left ear. He was taken to local hospital. As his condition was getting worse and he continued to be in comatose stage. He was air lifted from Lakshadweep into government assisted air ambulance. The next day on 15/05/2020 at 11am he reached VPS Lakeshore hospital Kochi where he was connected to ventilator in view of comatose stage. His CT brain showed right sided acute subdural hematoma with mass effect (severe brain swelling). Patient was taken for decompressive craniectomy and acute hematoma evacuation. Patient was on ventilator for five days. Later he showed gradual improvement in his condition and was weaned off from ventilator. After one month patient started walking and was taken for cranioplasty (placement of bone flap) and tracheostomy closure. Patient was discharged on 02/07/2020. Now patient is fully recovered and ready to get back to his work.
Timely intervention with the help of local treating Doctor at Lakshadweep , Government sponsored air ambulance, Neurosurgical intervention at VPS Lakeshore hospital, proper rehabilitation has made it possible for my brother to get back to his work.
We the family member extend our Sincere thanks to VPS lakeshore hospital , Dr Sudish karunakaran and his neurosurgery team , coordinator Mr Vahab and physiotherapy dept for the care .

Shailaja Suresh was suffering from 'Trigeminal neuralgia' for the last six years. She also showed allergic reactions to the medicines she was prescribed for the disease. It was with unbearable pain that she consulted Dr Sudish Karunakaran in the mid of July. Considering her situation she was taken in for a surgery which was a success and cured her eventually. Even at the midst of covid restrictions the surgery was successfully carried out ensuring all safety measures.
