Suboccipital bone and often the C1 arch are removed. Dura may be opened and patched. The team watches CSF leak and neurological status afterwards.

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
★★★★★
The hospitality was at its point. I appreciate the great service I got from the team. Being away from Home and get the feeling like you are at home is what Gaf is doing. Thank you once more, this have lifetime memories in my life.
★★★★★
Wonderful experience with Gaf Healthcare. I was quite hesitant before traveling. But the way entire journey has been planned, charted out and facilitated by Gaf was truly exceptional. Dr. Ritu in Max has treated me well. My eye surgery went well.
