OAHU NEUROSURGEONS

<<<Back to Oahu Surgeons

Neurosurgery is the surgical specialty for the treatment of diseases and disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral and sympathetic nervous system. Neurosurgeons are specialists who undergo a rigorous training program of 5-7 years of study in neurosurgery after completing medical school and the mandatory one-year surgery internship. Some neurosurgeons go for advanced sub-specialty training in fields like cerebrovascular and skull base surgery, epilepsy, functional and stereotactic neurosurgery, neurosurgery trauma, spine surgery, and pediatric neurosurgery.

Some neurosurgical conditions treated neurosurgeons are:

• Lumbar disc herniation : As a spinal disc degenerates, it herniates back into the spinal canal. The herniated disc puts direct pressure on nerve roots causing a lot of pain.
• Spinal stenosis : A condition in which the spinal canal narrows and pinches the spinal cord and nerves .
• Hydrocephalus : An abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain. This causes intracranial pressure and compression of the brain.
• Head injury : Trauma of the head and brain.
• Spinal cord trauma.
• Traumatic injuries of peripheral nerves.
• Brain tumor .
• Tumors of the spine, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
• Cerebral or brain aneurysm : A cerebrovascular disorder in which weakness in the wall of a cerebral artery or vein causes a localized dilation or ballooning of the blood vessel.
