Symptoms

When should you see a neurosurgeon?

You may need to see a neurosurgeon if you have:

Chronic back or neck pain
Intervertebral Disc Herniations
Numbness, weakness, or loss of sensation in the hands or feet
Head or Back Injuries and Their Consequences
Tremors, convulsions, or movement disorders
Brain or spinal cord tumors
Consequences of a stroke or bleeding in the brain

Patients are most often referred to a neurosurgeon by a neurologist, family doctor, orthopedic surgeon, rheumatologist, or oncologist. You can also schedule a consultation without a referral.

Important! A sudden, severe headache, impaired consciousness, or rapidly increasing weakness in the limbs are acute conditions. In such cases, seek emergency medical care immediately.

Important to Know

Modern Neurosurgery — Minimally Invasive Techniques

Neurosurgery is a rapidly evolving field, and today, minimally invasive techniques are available for many procedures, offering:

Shorter recovery time
Smaller scars
Lower risk of postoperative pain
Without a fuss

Should I be worried about neurosurgery?

Many patients put off their appointments because surgery on the spine or nervous system seems daunting. However, modern neurosurgery differs significantly from the common perception of major and risky surgeries.

Most procedures are performed microsurgically, using small incisions and precise visual control. Early diagnosis often makes it possible to avoid surgery altogether or to choose the least invasive method available.

  • ✓ Surgeries are performed under anesthesia—you won't feel any pain
  • ✓ Microsurgical approach with minimal incisions
  • ✓ Hospital stay: usually 1–3 days
  • ✓ You can get up and walk on the day of the surgery or the next day
  • ✓ Pain relief is often felt immediately after surgery
