Neurosurgery
Service description
What is neurosurgery?
Neurosurgery is the surgical specialty that deals with the treatment of diseases and injuries affecting the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as spinal pathologies of a degenerative, infectious or tumorous nature. This discipline is essential to address complex conditions that require surgical intervention and a thorough evaluation.
During the consultation, the neurosurgeon focuses on assessing the need for surgical intervention, analyzing the best approach for each case, informing the patient about the procedure and answering their concerns. Pre-surgical requirements are also prepared to ensure a smooth and safe process.
Because neurosurgery encompasses a wide range of conditions, neurosurgeons often use advanced imaging tests and computer technology. In addition, they collaborate closely with other specialists, such as endocrinologists, neurologists, neurophysiologists, oncologists, otolaryngologists and ophthalmologists, to provide a comprehensive assessment of each patient.
At Affidea, we take a patient-centered approach, prioritizing open communication and understanding of individual concerns. Our team strives to guide patients and their families through every step of the process, from initial evaluation to post-operative follow-up.
Our centers are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and state-of-the-art imaging technology that allow for accurate diagnoses and detailed surgical planning.
