What does a Neurosurgery doctor do?
A neurosurgeon treats conditions of the brain, spinal cord, spine and peripheral nerves that need surgery: herniated discs and spinal stenosis, brain tumours, aneurysms, hydrocephalus, head injuries and nerve entrapments such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Surgery is not the first choice in every case: the neurosurgeon judges whether an operation is really needed or whether conservative treatment is enough.
Common reasons to consult
- Herniated disc with leg pain
- Spinal stenosis
- Suspected brain tumour
- Aneurysm
- Head injury
- Carpal tunnel and other nerve entrapments
Frequently asked questions
Does every herniated disc need surgery?
No. The great majority of herniated discs heal with medication, physiotherapy and time. Surgery is considered for increasing weakness in the leg, loss of bladder or bowel control, or unbearable pain despite 6–12 weeks of conservative treatment.
How long is recovery after spine surgery?
After minor operations such as microdiscectomy, patients usually walk within a day or two and return to normal life in 4–6 weeks. Full recovery after major surgery with fixation can take several months.
When does a headache need a neurosurgeon?
A sudden headache of unprecedented severity, or one accompanied by vomiting, visual disturbance, weakness or a seizure, needs immediate assessment. Ordinary tension and migraine headaches are assessed by a neurologist first.
Which images should I bring to the consultation?
Bring the disc or digital copy and the written report of any MRI or CT scans; an X-ray alone does not show soft tissue. The doctor will order contrast or functional imaging if needed.
