FAQs
What conditions does a neurosurgeon treat?
Neurosurgeons handle brain and spinal cord tumors, head injuries, slipped discs, spinal deformities, aneurysms, and congenital neurological issues.
How is neurosurgery different from neurology?
Neurosurgeons perform surgical treatments, while neurologists manage neurological diseases through medication and rehabilitation.
Do all brain or spine issues need surgery?
No. Surgery is performed only when necessary. Many conditions can be treated conservatively or through minimally invasive interventions.
Is neurosurgery safe?
With advanced tools and skilled surgeons, neurosurgical procedures are safer than ever before. Risk is minimized with pre-surgical evaluations and precise monitoring.
What is an awake craniotomy?
An awake craniotomy is a procedure where a patient remains conscious during part of the brain surgery, often used for tumor removal near speech or motor centers to avoid damage.
