Brain and Neurosurgery in Iran

Brain and neurosurgery in Iran are well-known in the region and beyond due to the high-quality standards, renowned neurosurgeons, and innovative treatments.

Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and diseases involving the central and peripheral nervous system (and its subdivisions, the autonomic nervous system, and the somatic nervous system); including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue, such as muscle. Neurological practice relies heavily on the field of neuroscience, which is the scientific study of the nervous system.

A neurologist is a physician specializing in neurology and trained to investigate, diagnose, and treat neurological disorders. Neurologists may also be involved in clinical research, clinical trials, and basic or translational research. While neurology is a non-surgical specialty, its corresponding surgical specialty is neurosurgery.

There is significant overlap between the fields of neurology and psychiatry, with the boundary between the two disciplines and the conditions they treat being somewhat nebulous.

We all can agree that Iran is at the top of the list when it comes to offering medical services. The skills of Iranian surgeons and doctors are outstanding and the clinics and hospitals are equipped with the latest medical technology and are always up to date with different medical fields, without forgetting to mention the affordable prices of neurology disorder treatments in Iran compared to other countries that also provide high-quality medical services.

How Do You Recover from a Neurosurgery Procedure?

Recovering from neurosurgery can vary based on the patient and the procedure. Here are some general steps that patients may go through during the recovery process:

• Some patients may need to stay in the hospital for a few days or weeks after their surgery, while others may be able to go home the same day. The kind of operation performed and the patient’s general condition will determine how long they must stay in the hospital.

• After surgery, it’s crucial for patients to rest and relax, so their bodies can recuperate.

• Patients may be prescribed medications to help manage pain and other symptoms during their recovery.

• Depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s individual needs, physical therapy may be recommended to help patients regain strength and mobility.

• It is important for patients to attend follow-up appointments with their neurosurgeon to monitor their progress.

Today advances in medical technology have greatly reduced the risks and improved the outcomes of neurosurgery, making it a safe and effective treatment option for many patients.

Brain Surgery in Iran

Craniotomy

A craniotomy is when a section of the skull is temporarily removed to access the brain. The bone flap, or portion of the skull removed during surgery, is generally restored. Cancer, intracranial hypertension, and post-traumatic hematoma are some diseases that can be treated with craniotomy.

Spinal Surgery in Iran

Spinal neurosurgery is a neurosurgical procedure that deals with the surgical treatment of spine disorders. A herniated disc, spinal cord, and nerve compression due to spinal canal stenosis, spinal deformities like spina bifida (meningomyelocele), tumors, and cord diseases can be treated by spinal surgery. To treat spinal cord and nerve compression due to spinal canal stenosis, vertebral shifts, deformities, tumors, and spinal cord diseases, modern surgical approaches are used.

Vascular Neurosurgery in Iran

Vascular neurosurgery is another neurosurgical procedure that focuses on the treatment of disorders of the brain and spinal cord blood vessels. Vascular neurosurgery may be performed using a variety of techniques and tools, such as scalpels, drills, and lasers. The specific procedure will depend on what the condition entails and also the individual patient.

Other Relevant Treatments in Iran

Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CBS) Shunt System Placement

Cerebral Spinal Fluid shunt systems, which help to transfer excess fluid from the brain to another region, can be used as a life-saving treatment for Hydrocephalus. In the shunt method, the chambers where the cerebrospinal fluid circulates and accumulates are entered through a small hole in the skull. Thus, the water accumulation in the brain is prevented, the pressure is balanced and the complications of hydrocephalus can be treated.

Stereotactic Surgery in Iran

Stereotactic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that uses specialized equipment to guide the surgeon to a specific area of the brain or body. It is often used to treat brain tumors and other abnormalities and perform biopsies and other diagnostic procedures such as patients with symptoms of brain tumors.

The term “stereotactic” refers to using three-dimensional coordinates to guide the surgeon to the specific area being treated. This is typically done using a stereotactic frame, a device attached to the head or body that allows the surgeon to accurately locate the area being treated. The surgeon may also use imaging techniques such as CT scans or MRIs to guide them during the procedure.

Stereotactic surgery is often used as an alternative to traditional surgery, as it is less invasive and requires smaller incisions. This surgery can result in a faster recovery time and it can also create complications that bear lower risk.
