FAQ's Related to Neurosurgeon

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 work both in private and public hospitals. They also see patients in a clinic or surgery. They work closely with specialists and health professionals as part of a medical team, such as a critical care team or a hospital stroke team.

What are the tests required before and during consultation for Neurosurgeon

Diagnosis tests act as an important tool to find out the condition(s) a patient is suffering from. So, a neurosurgeon will ask you to get a few tests done so that they get to know the cause of the symptoms which further helps in finding the condition the patient is suffering from. Based on the diagnosis, the doctor can start appropriate treatment. A neurological examination is the assessment of motor responses and sensory neuron and includes the following:

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

For the diagnosis of neurological conditions, you need to have one or more of the following tests::

  1. Cerebral Angiogram
  2. CT Myelogram
  3. CT Scans
  4. Lumbar Puncture
  5. MRI Scans
  6. X-ray Imaging
  7. Electroencephalogram
  8. Electromyogram
  9. Spinal tap CT
When should you go to see a neurosurgeon?

If you show the below symptoms, consult a neurosurgeon who will diagnose the condition and suggest the right treatment.

  1. Numbness and pain
  2. Weak grip
  3. Persistent headache/migraine
  4. Impaired movement
  5. Seizures
  6. Balance issues

Dealing with the entire nervous system, neurosurgeons treat all the parts of the body that are affected by nerve issues. They do complex surgeries on the brain. Before starting treatment, they diagnose patients' symptoms and design minimally invasive treatment plans.
