Neurosurgery

Conditions that may require neurosurgery include brain tumors, spinal disc herniation causing nerve compression, traumatic brain injuries, cerebral aneurysms, hydrocephalus, trigeminal neuralgia, spinal stenosis, and certain types of epilepsy resistant to medication.

Spine surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments like medication, physiotherapy, and injections fail to relieve symptoms such as persistent back or leg pain, progressive weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or significant nerve compression confirmed by imaging.

Minimally invasive neurosurgery uses small incisions, specialized instruments, and image guidance to perform brain and spine procedures with less tissue damage, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Yes, an online neurosurgery consultation is valuable for reviewing MRI and CT reports, getting a second opinion on recommended procedures, understanding surgical options, and discussing risks and recovery timelines before committing to surgery.

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Minor procedures may require weeks of recovery, while major surgeries such as tumor removal may take several months. Rehabilitation including physiotherapy and cognitive therapy often plays a key role in recovery.
