Patients seeking a neurosurgical opinion should provide current MRI or CT imaging, angiography where relevant, pathology reports for tumours and previous operative notes. The choice between microsurgical, endoscopic, stereotactic, spinal or non-operative management depends on lesion location, neurological deficits, spinal stability, prior treatment and overall health.

Brain and spinal tumours, aneurysms and complex spine disease may also require coordinated review with neurology, oncology, neuroradiology or rehabilitation teams before the final treatment plan is established. Postoperative planning may include intensive neurological monitoring, physiotherapy and longer-term imaging surveillance where appropriate.
