Severe traumatic head injuries from road traffic accidents, occupational falls, or physical trauma cause rapid intracranial hemorrhage, brain contusions, and fatal swelling. Shiv Shahi Hospital operates a round-the-clock neurosurgical trauma theatre in Ambernath East capable of initiating emergency life-saving craniotomy and hematoma drainage within minutes of arrival.
For acute epidural hematomas or rapidly expanding subdural hematomas with midline brain shift, emergency surgical evacuation is performed within 60 to 90 minutes of arrival to prevent irreversible brainstem compression.
Decompressive craniectomy involves temporarily removing a portion of the skull bone to allow severe cerebral swelling room to expand outward rather than downward into the brainstem. The bone flap is stored sterilely and replaced (cranioplasty) once swelling subsides.
Yes. Emergency head injury trauma surgery and craniotomy are covered under the Maharashtra Government Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Jan Arogya Yojana (MJPJAY), CMRF, and private insurance TPAs at Shiv Shahi Hospital Ambernath.
