Aug. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- Psychosurgery in India: Psychosurgery in India, now offered at a discounted price, is attracting a lot of foreign nationals to India. The cost of psychosurgery in India is very low as compared to the western countries. India, which is one of the most sought-after medical tourism destinations in the world, has patients from over 60 counties getting treated in various hospitals across the country. Reasons varying from lower treatment costs to shorter waiting periods for surgeries are cited as reasons for India becoming a hot destination for health tourists, mainly from the West and the Gulf countries. Psychosurgery in India at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore offers remarkable cost savings. The savings are a function of where you travel for surgery. India is currently one of the cheapest places for surgery in the world.


The surgical procedure: Psychosurgery is a subset of neurosurgery (surgery of the brain) intended to modulate the performance of the brain, and thus affect changes in cognition, with the intent to treat or alleviate severe mental illnesses. It was originally thought that by severing the nerves that give power to ideas you would achieve the desirable result of a loss of effect and an emotional flattening which would diminish creativity and imagination; the idea being that those are the human characteristics that are disturbed. Historically, the procedure typically considered psychosurgery, prefrontal leucotomy, is now almost universally shunned as inappropriate, due in part to the emergence of less-invasive or less-objectionable methods of treatment such as psychiatric medication and modified electroconvulsive therapy. In modern neurosurgery however, more minimally invasive techniques like gamma-knife irradiation and foremost deep brain stimulation have arisen as novel tools for psychosurgery.


The Psychosurgery Procedure: Travelling to India for psychosurgery can give you access to top-quality health-care quickly and cheaply. India has one of the world's most extensive health-care systems supported by a long tradition of health and medicine dating back to Ayurveda. Indian doctors routinely take post-graduate training at American and European university hospitals, and they are the backbone of both the National Health Service in the United Kingdom and hospitals in the United States. Last year alone 150,000 patients visited India for medical treatment, from countries around the world.
