Consultant Neurosurgeon & Spinal Surgeon
What is a Neurosurgeon?
A neurosurgeon is a physician that trained many years after medical school learning how to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the
brain, skull,
spine, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.Neurosurgeons treat many conditions in addition to the following:
- Tumors of the brain,
spine, spinal cord or peripheral nerves. These tumors may be begin or malignant.
- Neck and back pain. This pain can be as a result of a herniated disk, vertebral stenosis, arthritis, cancer or degenerative bone disease.
- Aneurysms of the major blood vessels in the brain.
- Degenerative diseases of the spine and spinal cord.
- Peripheral nerve disease such as carpal tunnel disease, trigeminal neuralgia, or conditions producing a pain in the radial, ulnar or brachial nerves.
How are Neurosurgeons Trained?
After five years of medical school, the doctor enters a neurosurgical training course of five to seven years. Because of the extreme complexity of the nervous system and the high technology used in neurosurgical operations, residency training is long and rigorous. After successful residency training completion the neurosurgeon takes the fellowship examination which consists of a difficult written, oral and clinical examination on patients. Following successful completion of this the trained resident becomes a certified neurosurgeon in the specialty.
Scientific journals, annual meetings, symposia, and other educational opportunities help the neurosurgeon to keep pace with rapid changes and developments in the specialty.
