FAQs

Neuro and spine surgery is a medical specialty focused on treating conditions related to the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and spine. It includes surgeries to address issues such as spinal injuries, brain tumors, herniated discs, and conditions like scoliosis or spinal stenosis.

Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections do not provide relief, or if the condition is causing significant pain, loss of function, or neurological damage (e.g., weakness, numbness).

Common conditions include:

Herniated or Bulging Discs
Spinal Stenosis
Scoliosis
Spinal Fractures
Brain Tumors
Degenerative Disc Disease
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Cervical or Lumbar Radiculopathy

Discectomy - Removal of a herniated or damaged disc.
Laminectomy - Removal of part of the vertebra (lamina) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
Spinal Fusion - Joining two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine.
Artificial Disc Replacement - Replacing a damaged spinal disc with an artificial one.
Foraminotomy - Enlarging the space where nerves exit the spine to relieve pressure.
Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty - Minimally invasive procedures to treat vertebral fractures.

While neuro and spine surgeries are generally safe, risks include

Infection
Bleeding
Nerve damage
Blood clots
Dural tear (damage to the protective membrane around the brain and spinal cord)
Complications from anesthesia
Recurrence of symptoms

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery performed

Minimally invasive procedures may require only a few weeks of recovery.
More complex surgeries (like spinal fusion) may take several months for full recovery. Physical therapy is often recommended to regain strength and mobility.

Minimally invasive spine surgery involves small incisions, using special tools like cameras or robotic assistance to perform the procedure with less damage to surrounding tissue. This typically leads to shorter recovery times, less pain, and fewer complications.

Most spine surgeries are performed under general anesthesia, meaning you will be asleep. However, some minor procedures may be done under local anesthesia, where you remain awake but sedated.

The surgeon will evaluate your medical history, perform a physical exam, and likely order imaging tests (like X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans). They will discuss potential treatment options, the pros and cons of surgery, and answer any questions you have about the procedure and recovery.

Success rates depend on the specific condition and type of surgery. Generally, spine surgeries like spinal fusion and discectomy have good success rates in improving pain and functionality. Your surgeon will provide a more specific prognosis based on your condition.

Not necessarily. Many spine conditions can be treated effectively with conservative methods like physical therapy, medications, injections, or lifestyle changes. Surgery is usually considered only if these treatments fail or if the condition is severe.

To prevent spine problems

Maintain good posture
Exercise regularly, focusing on core strength
Lift heavy objects correctly
Maintain a healthy weight
Avoid smoking, as it can affect spine health
Practice proper ergonomics at work and home
