Neurosurgeons are medical doctors who are trained in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the spine, brain, and other parts of the nervous system. They are different from neurologists as they are specifically certified and trained in the use of surgical treatments, and neurologists generally focus on other forms of treatment.

One of the highly experienced and trained specialists in medicine, a neurosurgeon spends much time consulting with other doctors regarding various cases. These doctors have their own roster of cases, each with different challenges. Not all cases would need surgery, though many of them likely will.

A neurosurgeon performs more spine than brain surgery. Some of them specialize in particular types of spinal problems like lumbar (low back) and cervical (neck) disorders, or spinal cord injury. Pediatric neurosurgeons treat children and infants, while other neurosurgeons can treat disorders affecting adults.

A neurosurgeon treats people with a wide range of neurological issues as listed below:

• Peripheral nervous system disorders
• Lower back pain
• Brain tumor
• Carpal tunnel syndrome

Candidates willing to become a neurosurgeon should have a 5½ years MBBS degree followed by two to three years M.S. (Neurosurgery). Interested candidates can pursue M.Ch (Neurosurgery) for super specialization in neurosurgery.

The training and education to become a neurosurgeon is extensive and includes the completion of:

• Five-and-a-half years of MBBS course.
• Three years of MS or DO degree
• One year internship in general surgery
• About 5 years in a neurosurgery residency program

Some neurosurgeons also complete a fellowship after residency to specialize in a specific area.

Neurosurgeons specialize in the treatment of spine, brain, and nervous system conditions through surgical methods.The following is a list of all the conditions that neurosurgeons can diagnose and treat:

• Degenerative disc disease
• Spondylolisthesis
• Spinal arthritis
• Bulging or herniated discs
• Spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis)
• Fractures
• Spinal stenosis
• Osteoporosis
• Congenital defects (spina bifida)
• Spine cancer
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome
• Brachial plexus injuries
• Sciatic nerve injuries
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Ulnar nerve compression
• Peroneal nerve compression
• Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)
• Brain hematomas
• Brain hemorrhages
• Carotid artery stenosis
• Brain aneurysms
• Strokes

Evaluating and diagnosing damage to the nervous system is complicated and complex. Many of the same symptoms happen in different combinations among the different disorders. Some diagnostic tests ordered by neurosurgeons are:

• Cerebral Angiogram
• CT Myelogram
• CT Scan
• Lumbar Puncture
• MRI Scan
• X-ray Imaging
• Electroencephalogram
• Electromyogram
• X-ray
• Nerve Conduction Velocity

If you experience any of the below-listed symptoms, immediately consult a neurosurgeon who will help diagnose the underlying conditions. Some disorders might be mild while others might require immediate attention. Proper diagnosis can prevent serious conditions.

• Persistent numbness, particularly in the extremities
• A weak grip

• Seizures
• Dizziness or Balance Issues
• Memory problems or confusion
• Brain or spinal cord injury
• Confusion or trouble talking
• Downward deviation of eyes
• Unusually large head size
• Stiffness in the low back area
• Limited range of motion

During your initial visit, the neurosurgeon will ask about your complete medical history as well as your symptoms. The doctor will then do a focused neurological examination. After reviewing your diagnostic tests and medical history, you will be given a number of treatment options. The neurosurgeon will also tell you the risks and benefits of each option and will help you in making the final decision regarding which option is best for you. The doctor will ask all about your complete health history. They will also conduct a physical exam to test your reflexes, coordination, sight, strength, sensation, and mental state.

Neurosurgical procedures can be performed for both pediatric and adult patients. There were a number of surgical as well as non-surgical options performed based on the nature of the disease, disorder, or type of injury. Modern invasive, as well as non-invasive surgical procedures, have made brain surgeries simple to a great extent.
