Overview

Neurosurgery is the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the brain, spine and nerves. Not every condition needs surgery; many are treated with medicines, therapy or careful monitoring.

A neurosurgical consultation helps to assess whether surgery could help, explain the options with their benefits and risks, and plan the next steps together with you.

When to consider this clinic

  • A brain or spine condition for which surgery has been suggested
  • A brain tumour or other abnormality found on a scan
  • A spine problem pressing on nerves, such as a slipped disc causing weakness or severe pain
  • Specialist review after a head or spine injury

Having one or more of these does not by itself mean you have a particular condition. A doctor's assessment is needed to find the cause.

What happens at your visit

  1. A review of your symptoms, examination findings and scans.
  2. An explanation of the condition and of both surgical and non-surgical options.
  3. A discussion of the possible benefits, risks and recovery if surgery is considered.

Who may benefit

  • People with brain or spine conditions where surgery may be an option
  • People referred by another doctor for a neurosurgical opinion

Frequently asked questions

Does every brain or spine condition need surgery?
