In any medical situation, the sooner the patient receives adequate medical care, the greater the likelihood of a successful outcome. This is especially true with neurological pathologies. If you or a loved one has any of the above symptoms, contact GMS Hospital online or by phone for a consultation with a neurosurgeon.
At the initial consultation, the doctor asks the patient about their symptoms as well as about any previous injuries or diseases. Then the neurosurgeon performs physical examination of the patient, and, in order to obtain a complete clinical picture, orders a number of laboratory analyses and instrumental exams which may include:
In life-threatening situations, emergency neurosurgery may be have to be performed without the possibility of conducting the above tests.
Neurosurgeons perform the following types of surgical interventions:
All neurosurgical operations are carried out using state-of-the-art equipment, including high-precision surgical optics and advanced microsurgical and endoscopic technologies.
After the neurosurgeon studies the results of the lab tests and examinations, he or she determines whether a surgical procedure is required. If it is not, the patient will be referred to another medical specialist, usually a neuropathologist. If surgery is required, the patient is checked into the hospital for preoperative preparation.
For elective (planned) surgery, the patient checks into the hospital either on the day before or the day of the operation. In emergency situations, the patient is immediately hospitalized, and after minimal preparation the operation is performed. In the postoperative period, the patient follows a rehabilitation program designed by the neurosurgeon which may include bed rest, massage, drug therapy, exercise therapy, and a special dietary regime.
