What is the process of spine and functional neurosurgery?

The spine connects the base of your skull bone to the tailbone through tendons, muscles, tissues, and cells. A spinal fluid runs across the backbone to protect the bone from wearing off. Therefore, you can stand, sit, sleep, and carry out all other tasks.

Spinal disorders

Patients might require surgery after a diagnosis of the following disorders:

  • Spine cancer: The growth of benign or malignant tumors in the spinal cord is known as spine cancer.

  • Herniated discs: The condition occurs when a part of the nucleus slips through an annulus causing excruciating pain.

  • Hematoma: Hematoma is a disorder when the blood clots in the spinal cord. The broken blood vessel can lead to blood clot issues.

  • Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis triggers when the spinal spaces are minimal. As a result, the spine experiences pressure and discomfort.

  • Abscess: A bacterial infection leads to Abscess means the accumulation of pus.

Your physician might advise you to undergo minimally invasive spine surgery if they diagnose any of the above disorders. This is the process of minimally invasive spine surgery:

  • First, the patient lies down on his stomach, and surgeons give them anesthesia.

  • The surgeon will create a small incision over a concerned spinal area, e.g., herniated disk.

  • The doctor puts the contractor and extracts the lamina bone.

  • Additionally, surrounding nerves and damaged disks are surgically extracted.

Surgeons may advise patients to undergo physiotherapy post-spinal surgery.

Functional Neurosurgery

Surgeons perform neurosurgery on patients suffering from neurological disorders. These disorders impact the brain and spinal cord of the central nervous system. As a result, your structural and electrical impulses of CNS effects and your body cannot function with such abnormalities.

Disorders that require functional neurosurgery:

  • Tremors

  • Parkinson's disease

  • Dystonia

  • Cancer-related neurological disorders

  • Trigeminal neuralgia

  • Spinal disorders

Surgeons target the anatomical part of your body to regulate neurologic function. Therefore, patients' lifestyles improve, and their chronic spinal disorders reduce.

Surgeons diagnose the patient's neurological disorder through MRI or DBS. Furthermore, surgeons perform open or minimally invasive neurosurgery depending on the disease.

Neurological surgeons significantly approach functional neurosurgery as it treats several neurological disorders efficiently.
