Questions patients ask
After a head injury, when must someone come to hospital?
Come in immediately for loss of consciousness however brief, repeated vomiting, a fit, worsening headache, confusion or drowsiness, clear fluid or blood from the nose or ear, weakness in a limb, or any head injury in someone on blood thinners. Call +91 9666 469 911 if the person cannot be moved safely.
Does every slipped disc need surgery?
No, and most do not. The majority of disc prolapses settle over weeks with rest, medication and physiotherapy. Surgery is considered when pain is severe and persistent despite proper conservative treatment, or urgently when there is progressive weakness, numbness in the saddle area, or loss of bladder or bowel control.
Is neurosurgery available as an emergency at night?
Yes. Emergency cases are received at any hour: the casualty, operation theatres, intensive care and laboratory all run 24 hours a day. Call +91 9666 469 911 so the team can be assembled before the patient arrives.
What imaging do I need before a neurosurgical consultation?
A CT or MRI of the affected area is usually essential. Bring the films themselves and not just the report, along with any earlier scans so changes over time can be compared.
How long is recovery after spine surgery?
Recovery after spine surgery ranges from a few weeks to several months, depending on the operation. After a simple microdiscectomy many people are walking the next day and back to light work within a few weeks; fusion and stabilisation surgery takes considerably longer. Your surgeon will set expectations for your specific procedure.
