Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about Dr. Puneeth
01When should I see a neurosurgeon for a back or neck problem?
When should I see a neurosurgeon for a back or neck problem?
You should consult a neurosurgeon if you have persistent or progressive weakness in arms/legs, numbness, loss of bladder/bowel control, severe radiating pain (sciatica), or if imaging shows a prolapsed disc, spinal tumour, or instability (listhesis). Emergency symptoms like sudden loss of limb function need immediate attention.
02What is micro neurosurgery, and how does it differ from conventional brain surgery?
What is micro neurosurgery, and how does it differ from conventional brain surgery?
Micro neurosurgery uses a high‑powered operating microscope, precision instruments, and very small incisions (or keyhole approaches). It allows the surgeon to remove brain tumours, clip aneurysms, or treat spinal lesions with less damage to surrounding healthy tissue, leading to better outcomes and faster recovery.
03Can a head injury be managed without surgery?
Can a head injury be managed without surgery?
