Who is a neurosurgeon?
A neurosurgeon is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. This includes complex neurological conditions requiring specialized surgical expertise.
Can a neurosurgeon operate on a brain tumor?
Yes, neurosurgeons perform brain tumor removal surgery, a procedure known as craniotomy. They are specialized in operating on the brain and nervous system.
Does a neurosurgeon only perform surgery?
While neurosurgeons are highly skilled in complex brain and spine surgery, they prioritize conservative treatment methods. Medication is the first line of defense. Surgical intervention is only considered when medical management proves ineffective in alleviating the patient's condition.
Which diseases necessitate a consultation with a neurosurgeon?
Consult a neurosurgeon for conditions such as birth defects, brain or spinal trauma (accidents, injuries), brain tumors, vascular disorders, brain or spine infections, stroke, and degenerative spinal diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis).
