     Asslam alikum. My name is Ubaid and I am from Attock. My mother had multi level lumbar disc disease which was badly affecting her quality of life. Her MRI showed spinal stenosis on L4L5, L5S1. She was unable to walk for a few steps and she had to take rest. She had taken all the medicine and was given epidural injections too but it didnt help. We wasted a lot of money on Physiotherapy but it was of no avail. We were recommended surgery but the surgeons were saying that she will get paralyzed after surgery. We consulted Dr Ammar Anwer online. Dr sb answered all our questions, and recommended surgery. We came all the way from Attock to get operated and after surgery, my mother walked for first time in months. Now her pain is gone, she can walk easily and we are happy that we got surgery from Dr Ammar Anwer. He is one of the best spinal surgeons and he focuses on results. I will highly recommend Dr Ammar Anwer to any one who is considering spinal surgery.

     I have heard many rumours about L5S1 microdiscectomy complications but dr Ammar did a great job and my operation is completely recovered without any complications.It's been eight months since he operated me and now i did MRI again for verification that disc is completely recovered and Alhamdulillah my reports are clear. Dr Ammar Anwar is really expert in his profession and i am very thankful to him that he gave me new healthy life. Thank you Dr Ammar

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy is a surgical treatment used to treat obstructive or non-communicating hydrocephalus in children and adults. The most frequent therapy for hydrocephalus is shunting, which involves passing the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via a thin silicone tube to a separate bodily cavity for reabsorption. Shunts are life-saving devices, but they are also artificial devices that may fail for several causes. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy is an alternative surgical procedure that creates a bypass for the cerebrospinal fluid in the head that eliminates the need for a shunt. It is helpful only to people with hydrocephalus caused by a blockage of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.

Procedure:

In ETV, endoscope and fine instruments are used to create a micro-hole in the ventricular system of the brain that helps in the drainage of CSF in the brain it self, thus reducing pressure on the brain and avoiding shunt.

Complications:

Infection
CSF leak
Hemorrhage
Seizure disorder

Time to Recover:

Until your incision is entirely healed, avoid using a hairdryer, lotions, ointments, or hair products on it. It takes roughly six weeks to complete.
