FAQs
General Questions

Neurosurgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves.

Common conditions include:
  • Brain tumors
  • Spinal cord tumors
  • Herniated discs
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Hydrocephalus
  • Parkinson's disease (surgical treatments)
  • Aneurysms
  • Trigeminal neuralgia

Before Surgery

After non-surgical options (e.g., medications, physical therapy) are exhausted or ineffective, your doctor may refer you to a neurosurgeon for evaluation and possible surgery.

Follow all preoperative instructions provided by your doctor. You may need to stop certain medications, avoid food or drink before surgery, and arrange for help during your recovery.

During Surgery

It depends on the procedure. Some brain surgeries (like those near speech centers) may be done while you're awake (awake craniotomy). Most others are done under general anesthesia.

The duration varies widely. Some spinal procedures may take 1–2 hours, while complex brain surgeries can take 6+ hours.

Recovery

It varies based on the procedure and the individual. Minor procedures may require days to weeks; major surgeries can take months for full recovery.

Pain is common but usually manageable with medication. Always report severe or unusual pain to your medical team.

Most patients can, but recovery timelines differ. Driving, working, or exercising should be resumed only when cleared by your surgeon.

Risks and Complications

Potential risks include:
  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Blood clots
  • Stroke
  • Neurological deficits (e.g., weakness, speech problems)
  • CSF leaks

Reoperation

By choosing a board-certified, experienced neurosurgeon, following pre- and post-operative instructions, and reporting any concerning symptoms promptly.

Other Common Questions

No. Neurosurgery also includes spinal surgeries, peripheral nerve procedures, and minimally invasive techniques that don’t involve the skull.

Often, yes—but in emergencies (like brain hemorrhage or trauma), surgery may be the first and only option.

A neurologist treats nervous system disorders non-surgically. A neurosurgeon performs surgical interventions.
