The neurosurgery department of the regional hospital provides specialized treatment for patients with serious diseases of the brain and spinal cord. To provide quality medical care, there is all the necessary equipment, as well as a staff of experienced doctors.
Staff
The Department of Neurosurgery of the regional hospital is designed to provide high-quality highly specialized medical care to patients with serious neurological pathologies. To do this, the following employees work in his staff:
- nurses;
- nurses;
- neurosurgeons;
- head of department.
Only the joint activity of all employees allows a huge number of patients of the neurosurgery department of the regional hospital to return to a full-fledged active life.
Tasks
There are many neurological diseases that cannot be overcome withconservative methods of treatment. Patients with such pathologies should receive surgical care. To achieve this goal, the neurosurgery department of the regional hospital solves the following tasks:
- Consultative reception of patients with neurological pathology.
- Diagnosis of serious diseases of the brain and spinal cord. For this, the most modern research methods are used.
- Determining the need for surgical treatment in each case.
- Surgical interventions to restore the functional abilities of the patient.
- Providing recommendations for the further rehabilitation of a person who has undergone spinal or brain surgery.
How well these tasks will be implemented by the doctors of the Department of Neurosurgery of the Regional Clinical Hospital, how fully the patient will lead his future life.
Main types of pathology
Neurosurgeons provide rather narrowly specialized medical care. Their participation is required only in cases where it is impossible to get rid of the pathology by conservative methods, and its main manifestations cause severe pain or significant restrictions on physical activity in the patient. Most often, on the basis of such a department, the following diseases are treated:
- brain and/or spinal cord injuries and their consequences;
- intervertebral hernia;
- vertebral deformity;
- oncological diseases of the brain and spinal cord;
- abscesses of the nervous system;
- vascular diseases of the brain and spinal cord (with this pathology, neurosurgery and vascular surgeons can work together).
All these most serious pathologies were previously incurable, however, thanks to the dynamic development of medicine, as well as significant technological progress in recent decades, doctors manage to successfully fight even this pathology.
Work in conjunction with other departments
Neurosurgery is a fairly "narrow" branch of medicine. To successfully combat many diseases, its specialists often have to consult with colleagues. Most often, neurosurgeons work in conjunction with doctors of the following profiles:
- neurologists;
- vascular surgeons;
- ophthalmologists;
- rehabilitators.
Thanks to the help of these specialists, neurosurgeons are able to effectively diagnose various diseases and find ways to deal with them.
Profession difficulty
Working in this department requires certain skills. Even junior medical personnel are subject to more serious conditions of employment. Every day, employees of the neurosurgery department face the following challenges:
- Carrying out the most serious surgical interventions.
- The need for primary rehabilitation of patients after surgery.
- The presence of a large number of patients in need of constant care due to physical limitations.
- The need for emergency surgery at night.
Due to such difficulties, the salary of even junior medical staff in the neurosurgical department is somewhat higher than in others.
Activity reviews
Neurosurgeons constantly carry out serious surgical interventions that return patients to their functional activity and allow them to get rid of constant pain. As a result, people whose capabilities have expanded significantly immediately after the surgery leave only the most positive feedback about the neurosurgery department of the regional hospital.
It should be noted that not all patients feel better immediately after therapy. Many people need to go through serious lengthy rehabilitation courses.
Where can I get neurosurgical care?
Almost every regional center has a department of this type. This is due to the rather high prevalence of neurological pathology. Doctors working in this department provide consultative assistance to patients, both in the direction of other specialists, and in case of self-treatment of people. The address of the neurosurgery department of the regional hospital is also known to the employees of the ambulance teams.medical care. Most often, they deliver patients in need of emergency surgery.
If a patient wants to consult a specialist on his own, he can do this on a paid basis by appointment by phone at the neurosurgery department of the regional hospital. With a referral from another doctor, the examination will be free of charge.
