NERUOSURGERY

The nervous system is an extremely complex part of our body. Its primary job is to send signals to the brain through each and every nerve. Therefore, it is highly functional in coordinating its actions as well as transmitting signals through the sensory nerves. It is delicate at the same time and detects even the slightest change in and around us. The CNS or the central nervous system comprises the spinal cord and the brain. On the other hand the PNS or the peripheral nervous system constitutes the nerves. This entire system helps in the easy working of our body and executing an action. 

What is neurosurgery?

The very term ‘neurosurgery’ refers to a surgery related to the nervous system. It includes surgeries of the brain, spinal cord and the neural system. Neurosurgery can be the primary or the last resort in cases of acute physical injury, infection, tumour or situations when abnormalities take over the human body. Besides surgeries, it also happens to provide proper diagnosis and treatment of the neural system, spine as well as the brain. 

Situations to conduct neurosurgery

Neurosurgery happens to be one of the most sensitive operations. It is not only complex but also delicate to be conducted. Surgeons, who are thoroughly specialized in this field of medicine, can only conduct the neurosurgeries. It happens to be an extreme case if indeed a neurosurgery is needed. Some of the situations when it has to be conducted are stated in the following:

When tumours occur on the brain or on the spinal cord tissue, neurosurgery is recommended

• Spinal diseases like herniated disc and cervical disc hernia
• Constriction on the veins on the neck
• Physical injuries on head and spinal cord
• Aneurism on veins which feed brain tissues and spinal cord
• Deformities in the brain gaps or increase in the amount of fluid in the brain gaps
• Surgical treatments of neural diseases like epilepsy and Parkinson
• Nerve compression of arms and legs during an injury or accident
• Problems accouchement and development of neural system
• Cerebral bleeding and cerebral vascular occlusion
• Surgical treatments of neural diseases like epilepsy and Parkinson

All of the abovementioned medical situations will require a deft neurosurgeon to conduct the surgery. Our team of expert and skilled neurosurgeons at the hospitals we deal has a great experience in this field so they deliver the best services to you. 

What does a neurosurgeon do?

The job of a neurosurgeon is indeed a difficult and complex one. A neurosurgeon has to be highly knowledgeable and extremely committed towards his or her work. Neurosurgery is such an intense department that a patient’s entire life depends on the surgery. Therefore, the job of a neurosurgeon is 

• To  detect the problems in the nervous system
• To recommend required tests to detect those ailments
• To diagnose the ailment
• To treat the problem related to the brain, the spinal cord and the nerves
• To carry out surgeries in the brain, the spinal cord and the nerves
• To show the right path of staying healthy to the patient

Operating a brain tumour

Brain tumour has been a serious and life-threatening problem. It has taken away many lives as well as left many in a dreary health. Many cancerous tumours reduce the life span of a person. However, if a brain tumour is treated well in time then its degree of threat happens to reduce. 

The symptoms of a brain tumour are 

• Severe headache
• Seizures
• Memory loss
• Sudden black outs 
• Nausea 
• Vomiting 
• Physical weakness
• Fatigue 
• Myclonic (muscle twitches, spasms, jerks)
• Convulsions
• Unconsciousness or numbness
• Losing control over the body
• Loss of physical balance
• Forgetfulness 
• Inability to speak and other sympotoms

General anesthesia is used for conducting a brain surgery. Some tumours cannot be treated surgically because of their malignancy. 

We are here to strive our best to make every neurosurgery a success.
