Why We Perform Neurosurgery

The most common conditions that neurosurgery can treat include movement or seizure disorders, chronic pain, and diseases that are not responding to conventional treatments, such as medication. The goal of this type of surgery is to improve or restore function as much as possible.

Neurosurgery is used to treat:

  • Movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor
  • Epilepsy and other seizure disorders
  • Chronic pain, including pain from nerve injury or disease
  • Psychiatric disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder

 

What to Expect from Your Neurosurgery

Our multidisciplinary team, including neurologists and neurosurgeons, will thoroughly evaluate you and your quality of life. They will determine if you are a good candidate for neurosurgery. The procedure will be performed in a Dignity Health hospital, likely under general anesthesia.

Depending on the type of neurosurgery you need, you may need to recover for a few days in the hospital to monitor your pain levels. Most people find the benefits of functional neurosurgery outweigh the potential risks and improve their overall quality of life.
