Neurosurgery, also known as neurological surgery, is a medical specialty
that involves the surgical treatment of conditions that affect the nervous system, which
includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Neurosurgeons are doctors who have
specialized training in performing complex surgeries on the brain and spinal cord and
surrounding structures such as blood vessels, meninges, and the skull.
Some common conditions that neurosurgeons treat include brain tumors,
aneurysms, hydrocephalus, spinal cord injuries, and degenerative conditions such as
spinal stenosis and herniated discs. Neurosurgeons may also perform surgery to treat
conditions such as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. Neurosurgery
is typically performed in a hospital setting and may involve traditional open surgery or
minimally invasive techniques such as endoscopy or laser surgery.
When to See a Neurosurgeon?
There are several reasons why you need to see a neurosurgeon. Some common
indications for neurosurgery include:
- Brain tumors: Discuss treatment options, including surgery to
remove the tumor.
- Spinal problems: Conditions such as herniated discs, spinal
stenosis, or spinal injury may need evaluation and treatment.
- Head injury: Assess the extent of the injury and determine if
surgery is necessary.
- Neurological disorders: Conditions like Parkinson's disease,
multiple sclerosis, or epilepsy may require treatment discussions.
- Aneurysms: Evaluate and treat bulges in blood vessels that can
rupture in the brain.
Not all of these conditions necessarily require surgery. A neurosurgeon
will work with you to determine the best course of treatment based on your specific
situation.

Tests and Procedures in Neurosurgery
- CT scan: Uses digital X-rays to create detailed images of the brain
and other body parts.
- MRI: Uses a powerful magnet and radio waves for detailed imaging of
the brain and body.
- Angiography: Imaging test using dye and X-rays to view blood
vessels in the brain.
- Electroencephalography (EEG): Measures the brain's electrical
activity with sensors on the scalp.
- Lumbar puncture: Collects cerebrospinal fluid via a spinal tap for
testing.
- Spinal cord stimulation: Device implantation delivering electrical
impulses to the spinal cord to relieve pain.
- Microsurgery: Uses specialized instruments and a microscope for
delicate procedures on small structures.
- Stereotactic surgery: Uses precise 3D coordinates to guide the
surgeon to the specific brain area.
