A neurosurgeon is a medical specialist trained in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. This includes surgical and non-surgical options.
Yes, neurosurgeons perform brain tumor removal surgery, a procedure known as craniotomy. They are qualified specialists in operating on the brain and nervous system.
While neurosurgeons are highly skilled in complex brain and spine surgeries, they prioritize non-surgical treatment options like medication whenever feasible. Surgical intervention is considered only when conservative methods prove ineffective.
A neurosurgeon should be consulted for conditions such as birth defects, traumatic brain or spinal injuries, brain tumors, vascular disorders, brain or spinal infections, stroke, and degenerative spinal diseases like multiple sclerosis. Neurological symptoms warrant a specialist consultation.
