What does a Neurosurgeon do?

A neurosurgeon is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatments of conditions of the central as well as the peripheral nervous system. A neurosurgeon completes special training after becoming a doctor, including one year of residency in general surgery and a few more years of residency in neurosurgery. Some neurosurgeons complete fellowship training, which is additional training to further enhance their focus within the field of neurosurgery. Neurosurgeons mostly see patients in their own clinics and public and private hospitals. Sometimes, they have to work with other specialists and medical experts to seek their opinion on diagnosis and surgery techniques. They also evaluate the diagnostic tests to know the exact underlying conditions and accordingly proceed with the treatment.

What are the tests required before and during consultation for Neurosurgeon

You have to undergo one or more diagnostic tests before and during a consultation with a neurosurgeon. The result of the tests will help the doctor determine the root cause of the disease and plan the treatment accordingly. For a complete evaluation of your condition, you have to undergo neurological examination which may include the following:

  • MRI Brain
  • Physical Exam
  • Neurological exam
  • Spinal X-ray
  • Myelogram
  • Lumbar Puncture
  • CT Brain
  • Nerve conduction velocity studies/electromyography
