Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about Dr. Puneeth

01
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.

02
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.

03
Can a head injury be managed without surgery?

Yes, many mild head injuries (concussions, small contusions) are managed conservatively with observation, rest, medications for symptoms, and repeat imaging
