    Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Spine Surgery?

    Spine surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the spine. The spine, also known as the vertebral column or backbone, is a complex structure made up of vertebrae, discs, nerves, and other supporting tissues. Spine surgery is performed to address a variety of spinal disorders, injuries, or degenerative conditions that may be causing pain, instability, or neurological symptoms.

  • What is Neurology

    Neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Medical professionals who specialize in neurology are called neurologists. The nervous system is a complex and vital part of the human body, responsible for coordinating and controlling various bodily functions.

  • When is Neurosurgery recommended?

    Neurosurgery is recommended when conservative treatments, such as medication or physical therapy, are not effective in managing neurological conditions. It is often considered for conditions like brain tumors, spinal disorders, traumatic injuries, and certain neurological diseases.

  • What types of conditions are treated by the Department of Neurosurgery?

    The department typically treats a wide range of conditions, including brain tumors, spinal disorders (such as herniated discs), neurovascular diseases (aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations), traumatic brain injuries, and congenital disorders.

  • How long is the recovery period after Neurosurgery?

    The recovery period varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual patient. Some patients may need only a few days of hospitalization, while others may require a more extended recovery period with rehabilitation.

  • What is the difference between a neurosurgeon and a neurologist?

    Neurosurgeons are trained in both surgery and neurology and perform surgical interventions on the nervous system. Neurologists, on the other hand, specialize in the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of neurological disorders.
