Neurosurgery involves intricate surgical interventions to manage conditions affecting the nervous system. Surgeons in this field are trained to perform operations on the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, aiming to relieve symptoms, restore function, and improve quality of life. The field encompasses a range of procedures, from minimally invasive techniques to complex open surgeries, tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
In addition to surgical treatments, neurosurgery often involves pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care to ensure comprehensive management of neurological conditions. This includes working closely with other specialists to provide holistic care, addressing both physical and functional aspects of recovery.
Symptoms: • Persistent headaches or migraines • Seizures or convulsions • Numbness or weakness in limbs • Difficulty with balance or coordination • Vision or speech disturbances • Back or neck pain, especially if accompanied by radiating pain Diagnosis Diagnosis in neurosurgery involves a detailed medical history and physical examination, followed by advanced imaging techniques such as MRI, CT scans, or PET scans. Additional tests may include neurological exams, electromyography (EMG), and lumbar punctures to assess brain and spinal fluid.
