What is Neurosurgery?

Neurosurgery, or known as  brain surgery, is a specialised field of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. While neurosurgeons and neurologists work closely together, it is recommended to seek the advice of a neurosurgeon if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

  • Chronic pain
  • Head pain or trauma
  • Neck, back, or leg pain
  • Pinched nerves
  • Seizures

Neurosurgical Procedures

 

  • Brain tumour surgery – a specialised procedure performed by neurosurgeons to remove abnormal growths or tumours in the brain, may involve open craniotomy, endoscopic or stereotactic-guided procedures
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery – a non-invasive treatment option that uses focused beams of radiation to treat conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord. At Prince Court Medical Centre, neurosurgeons use the Gamma Knife, a specialised machine that delivers high doses of radiation to the affected area while minimising damage to healthy tissue
  • Neuro-endoscopy – a minimally invasive surgical technique which uses a small, flexible tube called an endoscope to view and treat conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord
  • Craniotomy – a surgical procedure in which a section of the skull is removed to access the brain. It may be done to remove a tumour, treat an aneurysm, or relieve pressure on the brain
  • Minimally invasive spinal surgery - a surgical technique is used to treat conditions affecting the spine, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spinal cord compression
  • Deep brain stimulation – a treatment option for patients with movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, tremors, and dystonia
  • Shunt surgery – treating hydrocephalus, involves placing a shunt (a tube) in the brain to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and relieve pressure on the brain
  • Hemispherectomy – a rare procedure in which half of the brain is removed to treat severe seizures
  • Thrombectomy – a common brain stroke surgery procedure involving the removal of a blood clot that is blocking a blood vessel in the brain
  • Aneurysm clipping or coiling – a common brain stroke surgery procedure involving placing a metal clip or tiny coils into the stroke aneurysm to promote blood clotting and prevent rupture
