NEURO SURGERY
Neuro Surgery: Brain and Nervous System Surgery
Neurosurgery covers an important medical field that includes surgical interventions related to the brain and nervous system. Golgi Health surgeons specializing in this field have extensive knowledge and experience to treat a variety of conditions related to the brain, spinal cord, nerves and their associated struc
What is Neurosurgery and its Purpose?
Neurosurgery is a medical specialty that involves surgical interventions related to the brain, spinal cord, nerves and their surrounding tissues. These surgical interventions are performed to treat or cure various neurological conditions. Neurosurgery can be used to treat conditions such as brain tumors, epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, trigeminal neuralgia.
Treatment of Neurological Conditions
Brain Tumors:
Brain tumors are masses formed by abnormal cell growth in brain tissue. Neurosurgery is a common treatment option for the removal or reduction of such tumors. Surgical intervention may vary depending on the size and location of the tumor and the patient’s general health.
Spinal Cord Injuries:
Spinal cord injuries can cause loss of motor and sensory functions due to damage to the spinal cord. Neurosurgery plays an important role in the treatment of spinal cord injuries.Surgery can be performed to release pinched nerves in the spinal cord or to reduce spinal cord damage.
Epilepsy:
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. For people who do not respond to medication or are affected by side effects of medication, neurosurgery may be an option. Epilepsy surgery aims to remove or neutralize areas of the brain that trigger seizures.
Neurosurgical Treatment Methods
Neurosurgery can be performed using a variety of techniques and methods. The most commonly used methods include microsurgery, endoscopic surgery, laser surgery and radiosurgery. Which method is used will depend on the patient’s condition, the surgeon’s preferences and the technologies available
Microsurgery:
Microsurgery is a surgical technique that allows the surgeon to manipulate very small structures under a microscope. This method is frequently used in neurosurgical interventions that require precise and detailed procedures. Microscopic images provide the surgeon with better visibility and allow the surgeon to act more accurately.
Endoscopic Surgery:
Endoscopic surgery is a technique that allows the surgeon to access inside the body using an endoscope. This method can provide a less invasive approach, resulting in less tissue damage and faster recovery times. Endoscopic neuro surgery is becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of certain conditions.
Laser Surgery:
Laser surgery is a technique that involves the use of laser light in surgical interventions. This method uses intense laser light to cut or ablate specific tissues. In neurosurgery, laser surgery can be used especially for the removal of tumors or for epilepsy surgery.
Conclusion
Neurosurgery plays an important role in the treatment of various conditions related to the brain and nervous system. Brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, epilepsy and other neurological conditions can be treated with neurosurgical interventions. Various methods such as microsurgery, endoscopic surgery, laser surgery and radiosurgery can be used depending on patients’ needs and conditions.
