FAQ
You should consult a neurosurgeon if you experience persistent headaches, seizures, weakness in the arms or legs, chronic neck or back pain, facial pain, movement disorders, hydrocephalus, or if imaging studies reveal a brain or spine condition requiring specialist evaluation.
No. Many neurological conditions can be managed with medications, physiotherapy, image-guided pain procedures, or observation. Surgery is recommended only when it offers the best chance of symptom relief or neurological recovery.
Modern brain surgery is safer than ever due to advanced imaging, neuronavigation, microsurgical techniques, and intraoperative monitoring. The risks depend on the type and location of the condition being treated.
Recovery varies depending on the condition, type of surgery, and overall health. Some patients return to routine activities within a few weeks, while others may require rehabilitation for a longer period.
Common symptoms include persistent headaches, seizures, vomiting, vision problems, weakness, balance difficulties, speech changes, memory problems, and personality changes.
DBS is an advanced surgical treatment that uses electrical stimulation to help control symptoms of Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia when medications are no longer effective.
Patients with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia whose symptoms are not adequately controlled with medications may be candidates after comprehensive neurological assessment.
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a condition that causes sudden, severe, electric shock-like facial pain. The pain may be triggered by chewing, talking, brushing teeth, or touching the face.
Treatment may include medications, radiofrequency ablation, balloon compression procedures and neurosurgical intervention such as Microvascular Decompression depending on the pathology and severity of symptoms.
Spinal Cord Stimulation is a neuromodulation therapy that uses mild electrical impulses to reduce chronic nerve-related pain and improve quality of life.
SCS is commonly used for chronic neuropathic pain, failed back surgery syndrome, CRPS, sciatica, post-surgical pain, and other persistent pain conditions.
Is spine surgery risky?
These are minimally invasive treatments performed using fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance to precisely target painful nerves or joints and provide effective pain relief.
Hydrocephalus is a condition where excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates within the brain, causing pressure on brain tissue and affecting balance, memory, walking, and vision.
NPH is a treatable condition usually seen in older adults that causes walking difficulty, memory decline, and urinary symptoms due to abnormal cerebrospinal fluid circulation.
A Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) Shunt is a device used to divert excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the abdomen, where it can be naturally absorbed.
Persistent headache, vomiting, confusion, drowsiness, weakness, seizures, speech difficulty, or loss of consciousness after a head injury require immediate medical evaluation.
No. Many brain tumours are benign and slow-growing, although they may still require treatment depending on their size, location, and symptoms.
