FAQs
The brain neurosurgeons listed on this page treat conditions including brain tumors, aneurysms, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and complex spine problems such as spinal cord compression and spinal tumors.
A neurologist diagnoses and manages brain and nervous system conditions using medications and monitoring, while a neurosurgeon steps in when a structural problem requires a surgical solution. Seeing a neurosurgeon does not automatically mean surgery is the next step.
The most common procedure is a craniotomy: the surgeon temporarily removes a small section of the skull, accesses the tumor using imaging guidance, removes as much of it as safely possible, then replaces the bone and closes the incision. Surgery typically takes several hours depending on the tumor's size and location.
Some tumors and aneurysms are monitored over time with regular imaging, and conditions like Parkinson's disease and epilepsy are usually managed with medication first. Surgery becomes the recommended path when a structural problem is causing serious symptoms, growing, or cannot be controlled safely with medication alone.
Send your most recent brain MRI (with and without contrast if possible), any CT scans, radiology reports, a list of current medications, and any prior surgical or biopsy records. The more complete your records, the more specific the specialist can be from the first conversation.
Yes. Hospitals in the UAE hold Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, the globally recognized standard for patient safety and care quality. Leading facilities offer multilingual clinical teams, dedicated international patient departments, and advanced neurosurgical technology including intraoperative imaging and surgical navigation.
Most patients remain in hospital for several days to about a week after a craniotomy, then need to stay in the country for a total of roughly four to six weeks before the surgical team clears them to fly home. Your care team will set the exact timeline based on your recovery.
The first days are spent in a monitored unit, after which patients move to a regular ward and begin gentle activity. Fatigue is common for several weeks, and some patients need short term physical, occupational, or speech therapy before returning home.
