What pathologies does a neurosurgeon treat

The initial consultation with a neurosurgeon

At the initial consultation, the doctor asks the patient about their symptoms as well as about any previous injuries or diseases. Then the neurosurgeon performs physical examination of the patient, and, in order to obtain a complete clinical picture, orders a number of laboratory analyses and instrumental exams which may include:

• radiography;
• CT, MRI, PET;
• Doppler ultrasound;
• lumbar (spinal) puncture;
• biopsy;
• myelography;
• echoencephalography, electroencephalography;
• blood tests (general, clotting, etc.).

In life-threatening situations, emergency neurosurgery may be have to be performed without the possibility of conducting the above tests.

What operations does the neurosurgeon perform?

Neurosurgeons perform the following types of surgical interventions:

• vertebroplasty;
• removal of herniated intervertebral discs;
• spinal stabilization;
• laminoplasty;
• cervical spondylosis;
• removal of spinal tumors;
• removal of tumors of the brain and brain membranes.

All neurosurgical operations are carried out using state-of-the-art equipment, including high-precision surgical optics and advanced microsurgical and endoscopic technologies.

Case management

After the neurosurgeon studies the results of the lab tests and examinations, he or she determines whether a surgical procedure is required. If it is not, the patient will be referred to another medical specialist, usually a neuropathologist. If surgery is required, the patient is checked into the hospital for preoperative preparation.

For elective (planned) surgery, the patient checks into the hospital either on the day before or the day of the operation. In emergency situations, the patient is immediately hospitalized, and after minimal preparation the operation is performed. In the postoperative period, the patient follows a rehabilitation program designed by the neurosurgeon which may include bed rest, massage, drug therapy, exercise therapy, and a special dietary regime.
