What is Neurosurgery?

Neurosurgery is a highly specialised field of medicine focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves.

Neurosurgical procedures can help relieve symptoms caused by neurological disorders, including chronic pain, impaired function, and reduced mobility, significantly enhancing your quality of life.

Neurosurgery procedures at New Victoria Hospital typically involve sophisticated techniques and advanced surgical equipment, ensuring maximum safety and precision. Procedures can vary in duration from one hour to several hours, depending on complexity. General anaesthesia is usually administered, although local anaesthesia or sedation may sometimes be more suitable.

Before surgery, comprehensive diagnostic evaluations such as MRI scans, CT scans, nerve conduction studies, or neurological assessments are conducted to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

• Back pain
• Neck pain

• Functional neurological disorders (Parkinson’s disease, tremors, epilepsy)
• Traumatic brain and spinal injuries
