Neurosurgery is a branch of medicine that deals with the surgical treatment of disorders of the nervous system—the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It encompasses both acute conditions, such as craniocerebral trauma and intracranial hemorrhage, and chronic conditions, including brain tumors, intervertebral disc herniations, and spinal stenosis. The nervous system is responsible for controlling movement, sensation, memory, and many vital functions. Even minor changes in this system can lead to serious symptoms, which is why precise imaging diagnostics and accurate qualification for surgical treatment are crucial in neurosurgery.

Services within the neurosurgical clinic
The neurosurgical clinic conducts qualifications for surgical procedures and consultations for patients with nervous system complaints. Results of tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are analyzed, and neurological symptoms are assessed.
Treatment of intervertebral disc herniation
Surgical treatment of discopathy is performed in cases of severe pain, paresis or pressure on nerve structures, when conservative treatment is ineffective.
Brain tumor surgery
Neurosurgery involves the removal of tumors and other pathological structures within the brain, while maintaining maximum safety of neurological functions.
Treatment of spinal canal stenosis
In cases of compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots, decompression procedures are performed to reduce pain and improve function.
Craniocerebral injuries
Surgical treatment of trauma complications, such as intracranial hematomas or skull fractures, is performed.
Treatment of neuralgia and peripheral nerve compression
The causes of chronic pain resulting from nerve compression, e.g. in the spine or limbs, are identified.
Follow-up after neurosurgical procedures
Regular visits allow us to monitor the healing process, assess the effects of the surgery, and plan further rehabilitation.
modern treatment methods
Precision of operation within the nervous system
Neurosurgical procedures require exceptional precision and careful planning. Each procedure is preceded by a detailed analysis of imaging studies and a risk assessment. Modern surgical techniques, surgical microscopes, and neuronavigation enable procedures to be performed with maximum respect for healthy structures. Technological advances shorten hospital stays and reduce the risk of complications. Appropriate qualification and close collaboration with a neurologist and rehabilitation specialist are crucial to achieving the best possible treatment outcomes.
Answers to your questions
FAQ frequently asked questions
When should you see a neurosurgeon?
In the case of chronic, worsening back pain radiating to the limbs, numbness, paresis, sensory disorders or when imaging tests show changes requiring surgical consultation.
Does every discopathy require surgery?
No. Many cases can be successfully treated conservatively with rehabilitation and pain management. Surgery is considered when symptoms are severe or neurological deficits develop.
Is spine surgery safe?
Every procedure involves risk, but appropriate qualification and modern surgical techniques significantly increase the safety of the procedure.
How long does recovery take after spine surgery?
Recovery time depends on the type of procedure and the patient's condition. It typically includes a rehabilitation period lasting from several weeks to several months.
Are brain tumors always malignant?
No. Both benign and malignant tumors occur. The final diagnosis is made based on histopathological examination
Is it possible to return to normal life after brain surgery?
In many cases, yes, although neurological rehabilitation and regular specialist monitoring may be necessary.
What tests should I bring to the consultation?
First of all, current imaging tests (MRI, CT) with a description and documentation of previous treatment.
Are neurosurgical operations performed under general anesthesia?
Most procedures are performed under general anesthesia, although other forms of anesthesia are possible in some cases.
Does the patient's age matter when qualifying for surgery?
The decision depends not only on age, but also on overall health, comorbidities and the potential benefits of the procedure.
