Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery treats disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Common conditions include brain tumors, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, hydrocephalus, epilepsy, aneurysms, and nerve compression. Treatment may involve surgical removal, decompression, or correction, using minimally invasive or open procedures depending on the condition and its severity.

A neurosurgeon is recommended when neurological symptoms persist or worsen, such as chronic back pain, seizures, numbness, balance issues, or severe headaches. Imaging showing spinal compression, tumors, or brain abnormalities also requires evaluation. Early consultation helps determine if surgical intervention or conservative management is the right approach.

Common procedures include craniotomy for tumor removal, spinal fusion, microdiscectomy, aneurysm clipping, and shunt placement for hydrocephalus. Other treatments cover trigeminal neuralgia, pituitary tumor excision, and minimally invasive spine surgery. Each surgery is tailored based on the diagnosis, imaging results, and overall neurological status of the patient.

Yes, neurosurgery abroad can be safe when conducted at accredited hospitals with experienced specialists. Many centers follow global protocols, use modern surgical tools, and offer comprehensive pre- and post-operative care. Medical tourism also includes support services like interpreters, travel coordination, and international follow-up assistance for seamless care.

Cost varies by procedure type, hospital reputation, neurosurgeon’s experience, and required post-surgical care. Factors like ICU stays, diagnostic imaging, and rehabilitation also influence pricing. Countries offering medical tourism often provide detailed treatment packages with transparent costs and flexible accommodations to match medical and financial needs.

Patients undergo MRIs, CT scans, angiography, and electromyography to determine the exact location and severity of the issue. Advanced imaging guides neurosurgeons during procedures. In some cases, EEGs or lumbar punctures may be used for brain or spinal fluid evaluation to plan precise neurosurgical strategies.

No, not all neurological issues require surgery. Many are treated with medication, physiotherapy, or non-invasive techniques. Neurosurgery is typically reserved for cases where conservative management fails or when imaging reveals structural problems needing correction. Specialists assess each case to recommend the most effective, least invasive solution.

Recovery depends on the type of surgery and patient health. Minimally invasive procedures may allow discharge in a few days, while complex surgeries may require weeks of inpatient care and physical rehabilitation. International centers provide comprehensive recovery support, including therapy and virtual follow-ups post-discharge.

As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, neurological deficits, or anesthesia-related complications. However, modern neurosurgical techniques greatly reduce these risks. Choosing experienced surgeons and certified hospitals significantly improves outcomes. Patients are thoroughly evaluated pre-operatively to assess surgical candidacy and minimize any avoidable complications.

Packages typically include consultation, imaging, procedure, hospital stay, medications, and post-surgical follow-up. Additional services may involve airport transfers, accommodation, travel insurance, and interpreter support. We ensure patients receive end-to-end care coordination, transparent pricing, and tailored treatment journeys with trusted global neurosurgery providers.
