View all- Are all neurological conditions treated with surgery?
No, not all neurological conditions require surgery. Neurosurgeons explore non-surgical options first, such as medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle modifications. Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments fail to provide relief or when the condition requires immediate intervention.
- Can minimally invasive techniques be used for neurosurgery and spine surgery?
Yes, many neurosurgical and spine procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques. These approaches often result in smaller incisions, less tissue damage, reduced pain, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional open surgeries.
- What are the benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery?
Minimally invasive spine surgery offers advantages such as smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, quicker recovery times, and less postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgeries.
- How is minimally invasive surgery different from traditional surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery involves smaller incisions and the use of specialized instruments and cameras to perform the procedure. This approach aims to minimize tissue damage, reduce scarring, and speed up recovery.
- How is postoperative pain managed after minimally invasive spine surgery?
Postoperative pain management may involve a combination of medications, including pain relievers and anti-inflammatories. Minimally invasive techniques inherently contribute to reduced postoperative pain, aiding in a more comfortable recovery.
