Understand your Neurology And Neurosurgery treatment options

Common questions patients ask before booking with Dr. Ravi Bhatia. If your situation is different, share the details in the form below and our advisors will tailor the next steps.

When should you see a neurosurgeon?

Persistent headaches that change in pattern, seizures, unexplained limb weakness, vision changes, balance problems, or any imaging finding (tumour, aneurysm, herniated disc) deserves a neurosurgical opinion even if surgery may not be needed.

Is brain tumour surgery always required?

No. The decision depends on the tumour's size, location, growth rate and symptoms. Small, slow-growing benign tumours can often be watched with serial MRIs. Surgery is recommended when the tumour is causing symptoms, growing, or sits in a location where waiting raises the risk.

What is minimally invasive neurosurgery?

Minimally invasive techniques endoscopic, keyhole and stereotactic surgery let the surgeon reach the target through small incisions or natural pathways (e.g. through the nose for pituitary tumours). Hospital stays shrink from weeks to days for most procedures.
