Italian neurosurgeons typically require documenting failed conservative treatments before recommending surgery. Standard options include physical therapy, specialized medication, and nerve blocks. Procedures like Gamma Knife or minimally invasive spine surgery are generally considered only after 6 to 12 months of non-surgical management fails to provide relief.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from top-rated Milanese centers like San Raffaele and Galeazzi show that 4K 3D microscopy and neuronavigation are now standard for those who do reach the surgical stage. These technologies allow surgeons like Dr. Pietro Mortini to perform procedures that were once considered too risky. This precision often reduces the need for extensive post-operative rehabilitation compared to traditional open techniques.
Patient Consensus: Patients note it is vital to track daily symptoms in a log to prove progression. This documentation helps bypass long waitlists by demonstrating that non-surgical alternatives are no longer effective.
