Neurosurgery

Veterinary Surgery Kyiv: high standard of medical care for animals

What is veterinary neurosurgery?

Veterinary neurosurgery is a specialized branch of veterinary medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the nervous system of animals. Among the most common problems that neurosurgery solves are brain and spinal cord injuries, tumors, herniated discs, epilepsy, and congenital anomalies of the nervous system. Our veterinary hospital in Kyiv offers neurosurgery for dogs, cats, and even exotic animals.

Diagnosis of neurological diseases in animals

Diagnosis is a key step in the treatment process. Our specialists examine the animal to detect neurological disorders, such as loss of coordination, seizures, weakness of the limbs or uneven pupils. Modern equipment allows for accurate diagnosis of neurological diseases in animals, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), electromyography (EMG) and other methods. This makes it possible to detect pathologies of the nervous system, in particular, spinal cord diseases or brain tumors.

Basic operations in neurosurgery for animals

Neurosurgery for animals covers a wide range of interventions:

  • Surgery for head injuries in animals, including the removal of the effects of blows or skull fractures.
  • Brain tumor surgery in animals – removal of various types of tumors
  • Intervertebral disc surgery in animals – herniated disc treatment to restore spinal cord function
  • Correction of congenital anomalies, for example, hydrocephalus or nervous system pathologies

Our clinic also offers neurosurgery for exotic animals, such as birds or reptiles.

Features of anesthesia and preparation for surgery

Anesthesia in neurosurgery in animals plays an important role in ensuring patient safety. The use of modern anesthesia methods allows minimizing risks even for animals with chronic diseases. Preparation for surgery includes consultation with a veterinary neurosurgeon, examination of the cardiovascular system and detailed diagnostics of the nervous system.
