Difference between neurology and neurosurgery

  Neurology, the nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Neurology is an independent secondary discipline and does not belong to the concept of internal medicine. It mainly treats cerebrovascular diseases (cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage), migraine, inflammatory diseases of the brain (encephalitis, meningitis), myelitis, epilepsy, dementia, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic and genetic diseases, trigeminal neuralgia, sciatic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy (numbness and weakness of the extremities) and myasthenia gravis, etc. The main examination methods include MRI, CT, ECT, PETCT, EEG The main tests include MRI, CT, ECT, PETCT, EEG, TCD (transcranial Doppler ultrasound), EMG, evoked potentials and hemodynamics. At the same time, we also provide treatment for functional disorders such as neurasthenia and insomnia in conjunction with the psychology department. Non-surgical treatment is the main treatment method.  Neurosurgery is a branch of surgery. On the basis of surgery, it studies the theory and technology of the causes, pathogenesis, pathology, symptoms, diagnosis and prevention of injuries, inflammation, tumors, malformations and certain dysfunctional disorders (such as neuralgia, epilepsy, etc.) of the human nervous system (brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves) and its appendages (skull, meninges, cerebral vessels, etc.). Surgery and intervention are the main treatments.  Neurosurgery is the main treatment of neurological diseases of the brain and spinal cord caused by trauma, such as traumatic brain injury caused by car accidents or tumor compression in the brain requiring surgical treatment. and spinal membrane bulge, spinal embolism syndrome, submicrocephalic tonsillar herniation malformation, premature closure of cranial suture, and various congenital craniomaxillofacial malformations.  Common neurosurgical consumables: pure titanium cranial lock, pure titanium cranial repair material, repair nail, medical adhesive, hemostatic gauze, medical sodium hyaluronate, bone wax, open-loop drill bit, silicone drainage tube, ventricular shunt tube, abdominal shunt tube.
