Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery combines spinal surgery, vertebrology and traumatology – all conditions and pathologies related to the vertebral column and spinal cord. Neurosurgery involves minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of various spinal pathologies that cannot be treated conservatively. The range of work of spinal surgeons includes:

• Diagnosis and endoscopic treatment of hernias and protrusions of intervertebral discs.
• Diagnosis and endoscopic treatment of stenosis of the spinal canal.
• Treatment of complications and consequences of degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the spine (osteoarthrosis, spondyloarthropathies of various genesis).
• Treatment of consequences of spinal injuries.
• Blockades of spinal nerves in chronic pain.

WHEN IS A NEUROSURGEON CONSULTATION RECOMMENDED?

Back pain is the main and primary symptom that suggests problems with the spine. The pain can be localized, the so-called radicular pain, which clearly indicates in which part of the spine the problem should be looked for. Sometimes the pain can radiate to the buttock and continue to the lower limb, which we often see with intervertebral hernias of the lumbar spine. Pain indicates constant irritation and the development of a reaction in the form of inflammation. In more complex situations, which may indicate damage to the spinal cord, the patient may be bothered by:

• Numbness of the limbs;
• Violation of gait;
• Weakness in one or two limbs;
• Violations of physiological functions (urinary incontinence, aching pains in the perineum, rubbing of the perineum)
• Violation of genitourinary function, etc.

A surgeon's consultation is also necessary for patients who have suffered severe spinal injuries, have a history of hereditary spondyloarthropathies, or complicated spinal operations.

Neurosurgery at Resort Medical Park

In the medical center, consultations are available from leading doctors of the Western region, who have extensive experience in spine pathology operations, internships in leading clinics in South Korea and Europe, numerous positive reviews from hundreds of operated patients. All the necessary types of examinations are available, which carry valuable information for diagnosis, drawing up a surgical intervention plan and fully preparing the patient for surgery:

• Digital radiography;
• Computed tomography (CT);
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
• Laboratory diagnostics;
• Consultations of doctors of a different profile (neurologist, therapist, cardiologist).
