Thane: In a remarkable medical success, a 58-year-old man suffering from a severe brain hemorrhage was saved through a minimally invasive keyhole brain surgery performed at KIMS Hospitals, Thane.
The procedure was led by Dr Kapil Khandelwal, Consultant Spine Surgeon, along with the hospital’s dedicated neurosurgical team.
The patient, who had a history of uncontrolled blood pressure, suddenly developed weakness on one side of his body and became unresponsive.

Diagnostic scans revealed a large blood clot deep within the brain, exerting pressure on critical regions and displacing it from its normal position – a condition that could have proved fatal without immediate intervention.
Acting swiftly, the medical team opted for keyhole brain surgery, a modern, minimally invasive approach that allows access to the brain through a small opening in the skull. This technique enabled surgeons to precisely remove the clot without harming surrounding healthy brain tissue.
“With this minimally invasive method, we were able to relieve the pressure and remove the clot without the complications of traditional open surgery,” said Dr Khandelwal.
Faster Recovery and Reduced Risk through Minimally Invasive Technique
Post-surgery, the patient showed steady neurological improvement. Follow-up scans confirmed complete clearance of the blood clot and restoration of normal brain alignment. Early physiotherapy sessions helped him regain mobility and alertness.
Unlike conventional brain surgeries that require large incisions and may involve temporary removal of bone, this keyhole brain surgery eliminated the need for secondary reconstructive procedures. The patient benefited from a shorter recovery period, lower complication risk, and reduced medical expenses.
Modern Neurosurgical Innovations Transform Emergency Care
The successful outcome at KIMS Hospitals underscores how keyhole brain surgery is revolutionizing emergency neurosurgical care in India.
With precision technology and smaller surgical access points, such procedures significantly improve patient survival rates and rehabilitation outcomes, even in high-risk hemorrhagic cases.
