Neurosurgery Department at Liaquat National Hospital was the first in Pakistan to acquire the IMAGE GUIDED SYSTEM (Stealth station) for precision in cranial surgery which provides accuracy and minimizes side effects.

Computer guided spinal surgeries are being performed for instrumentation and pedicle screw fixation. Also, we have high-speed drills for spinal and cranial work and operating microscope. Advanced Minimally invasive surgery is performed with cameras and endoscopes. Our experts also skillfully carry out minimally invasive brain tumor surgery for pituitary tumor and skull base. A CT-guided Stereotactic System to increase accuracy and biopsy of small lesions is already in use.

We have performed various procedures for the first time in Pakistan which include artificial disc replacement in spine, vertebroplasty, insertion of intrathecal pump for spasticity, Titanium cages, screws and plates, C1/2 Titanium screw fixation, endoscopic transphenoidal pituitary, deformity surgeries and image guided brain tumor and computer guided spine surgery.
