Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery is a specialized medical field focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical management of conditions that affect the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurosurgeons are highly trained specialists who perform surgical interventions to address a wide range of neurological and neurosurgical conditions. Here are some key aspects of neurosurgery:
Conditions Treated by Neurosurgeons:
- Brain Tumors:
Neurosurgeons are involved in the diagnosis and surgical removal of both benign and malignant brain tumors. They may also perform biopsies to determine the type of tumor. - Spinal Disorders:
Neurosurgery covers a broad spectrum of spinal conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal deformities, and spinal cord injuries. Surgical procedures may involve decompression, fusion, and the placement of spinal implants. - Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries:
Neurosurgeons play a critical role in treating traumatic injuries to the brain and spinal cord, including head trauma and vertebral fractures. Surgery may be required to address acute or chronic injuries. - Cerebrovascular Disorders:
Conditions like aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) affecting blood vessels in the brain are treated through neurosurgical procedures, such as aneurysm clipping or AVM resection. - Epilepsy:
Neurosurgery can be an option for patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Surgeons may perform procedures to remove the seizure focus or implant devices like vagus nerve stimulators. - Functional Neurosurgery:
This includes procedures like deep brain stimulation (DBS) for conditions like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia, as well as surgery for psychiatric disorders in some cases. - Pediatric Neurosurgery:
Neurosurgeons specializing in pediatric care address neurological conditions in children, such as congenital anomalies, brain tumors, and hydrocephalus.
Procedures Performed by Neurosurgeons:
Neurosurgeons are trained to perform a variety of surgical procedures, which can be complex and delicate due to the sensitivity of the nervous system. Some common neurosurgical procedures include:
- Craniotomy
- Laminectomy
- Stereotactic Surgery
- Endoscopic Surgery
- Microvascular Decompression
- Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery
Sri Ragavendra Multi Speciality Hospital has a world class operating theatre complex with inbuilt imaging and surgical planning technology, advanced CT scan for soft tissue imaging and surgical planning and also a dedicated wound care clinic with nurse follow-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Describe Neurosurgery.
-
What diseases are treated by neurosurgeons?Brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, herniated discs, epilepsy, stroke, and traumatic brain injuries are among the conditions that can occur.
-
What kinds of neurosurgery operations are frequently performed?Deep brain stimulation, decompression surgery, spinal fusion, and craniotomies are common procedures.
-
In what way is neurosurgery carried out?Usually, in order to reach the damaged region of the brain or spine, incisions must be made; for accuracy, imaging methods are frequently used.
-
What symptoms indicate complications following neurosurgery?Severe pain, fever, neurological impairments, abrupt changes in speech or vision, and infection at the site of the incision are among the warning indications.
-
How is an operation for neurosurgery organized?MRIs, CT scans, and other imaging examinations, together with discussions to create a surgical approach, are all part of the planning process.
