FAQs

When should a patient consult a senior neurosurgeon for brain or spine issues?
You should consult a neurosurgeon if you have chronic or severe back pain, neck pain, frequent headaches, numbness or weakness in your hands and legs, or if tests show problems like a brain tumor, spinal disc slip, or blocked blood vessels in the brain.

What is brain aneurysm treatment, and how is it done?
A brain aneurysm is a weak, bulging spot on a blood vessel in the brain that can be dangerous if it leaks. Modern treatment often uses advanced catheter techniques (like endovascular coiling) to safely block the aneurysm from the inside without needing a major open-skull surgery.

How are acute strokes treated using advanced neurointervention?
For certain sudden, severe strokes caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain, specialists use a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy. A tiny wire tool is passed through the blood vessels to remove the clot quickly, restoring blood flow and preventing major paralysis or permanent damage.

What is minimally invasive or endoscopic neurosurgery?
Instead of traditional large cuts, endoscopic neurosurgery uses a thin tube with a tiny camera (endoscope) to operate inside the brain or spine through very small openings. This leads to less pain, smaller scars, and a much faster recovery for the patient.

When is surgery necessary for severe back or spine pain?
Most back pain gets better with rest and medicines. However, if the pain does not go away, or if you feel severe weakness, numbness, or difficulty walking due to a pinched nerve or slipped disc, a surgeon may recommend a safe spine procedure to relieve the pressure.
