     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

Epilepsy is a neurological illness in which brain activity becomes aberrant, resulting in seizures or episodes of odd behavior, feelings, and even loss of consciousness. Epilepsy may strike anybody at any time. Males and females of various races, ethnic origins, and ages are affected by epilepsy. Dr Ammar Anwer is one of the few Neurosurgeons in the region who is offering Epilepsy Surgery to those patients who have Medical Refractory Epilepsy.

Indications of Epilepsy Surgery:

Drug Resistant Epilepsy
The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) has defines drug resistant epilepsy (DRE) as “Drug-resistant epilepsy occurs when a person has failed to become (and stay) seizure free with adequate trials of two antiseizure medications (called ASMs).”
Hippocampal sclerosis
Focal cortical dysplasia
Sturge-Weber syndrome
Hemimegalencephaly
Rasmussen syndrome
Porencephalic cyst
Hemiconvulsion-hemiplegia-epilepsy syndrome

Procedure:

These patients are referred by neurologists to Dr Ammar Anwer after complere workup. They types of Epilepsy surgery being offered is;

Resective surgery
1. Peri-Insular Hemispherotomy
2. Anterior Temporal Lobectomy and Amygdalohippocampectomy
3. Selective Amygdalohippocampectomy
4. Transventricular Corpus Callosotomy

2. Vagus Nerve Stimulation

All these epilepsy surgical services are available with Dr Ammar Anwer.

To make epilepsy surgery safe and deliver results, following tests are needed. Please make sure that you bring these tests (that are not older than 15 days) at the time of your appointment
