Essence of a neurosurgeon
Neurosurgeons have the most difficult journey of learning and perfecting their artistry in the field since they’re responsible for the most crucial part of the body; the brain. There are some of the best neurosurgeons in India who have gone through a rigorous and exclusive education and training. Let’s talk about neurosurgeons and how they help in treating difficulties in the brain below.
What is a Neurosurgeon?
A physician who can diagnose and conduct surgeries on disorders of the peripheral and central nervous system is known as a neurosurgeon. They can treat disorders such as traumas, vascular disorders, tumors, congenital anomalies, brain infection or stroke, degenerative disease in the spine, etc.
They need to go through a tough few years in their educative years as they:
Study for four years in a university
Study four years in a medical school for MD degree
Become a part of a 1-year internship in surgery
Give 5 to 7 years for a neurosurgery residency program.
Complete fellowship after residency
Practice along with constantly studying and educating themselves with new advances.
How is a neurologist different from a neurosurgeon?
While neurosurgeons perform surgery, neurologists do not perform surgery but treat their patients from complex disorders such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, Gehrig’s disease and issues in the peripheral nervous system. Therefore, neurologists work with neurosurgeons even though they cannot perform surgery.
What type of surgeries can a neurosurgeon perform?
There are several types of surgeries that a neurosurgeon can perform on the basis of the part of the nervous system which is affected such as:
Aneurysm repair
Brain tumor treatment
Blood clot removal
Hemorrhage or brain bleed
Trauma repair
Insertion of stent
Ulnar nerve release
Carpal tunnel release
Stereotactic spine radiosurgery
Stabilization and reconstruction of spine
Fusion of spine
Diskectomy
Laminectomy
In India, Neurosurgeons have an amazing knowledge of the brain, peripheral nervous system, central nervous system as well as the spine which is why they can create the perfect diagnosis of any problem related to them.
