Why choose Bumrungrad for neurosurgery

Bumrungrad is a recognised global leader in orthopaedics with internationally trained specialists across orthopaedic surgery, sports medicine, neurology, oncology, and rehabilitation.

Bumrungrad is chosen for neurosurgery because time critical brain and nerve conditions are managed through a coordinated pathway that links the Emergency Department, neurology, neurosurgery, interventional radiology, and the Neurocritical Care Unit.

In emergencies, neuro trained specialists provide initial diagnosis and immediate treatment, and if urgent neurosurgery or endovascular therapy is needed, patients can be transferred efficiently to operating suites located next to the Neurocritical Care Unit.

This matters because stroke, brain haemorrhage, and brain trauma can worsen minute by minute, and outcome depends on rapid imaging, early decision making, and specialist led critical care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? Our support team is here to guide you through each step of your treatment journey with personal care and attention.

Are families involved in treatment decisions?

Yes, families are involved in discussions and decision making, especially in complex or critical neurological conditions. Medical teams explain diagnosis, treatment options, and risks clearly so that decisions reflect both clinical needs and patient circumstances.

Can I receive follow up care after returning home?

Yes, remote follow up consultations allow your neurosurgeon to review your recovery, assess new imaging, adjust medications when appropriate, and guide rehabilitation after you return home.

This ensures continuity of neurosurgical care without the need for repeated travel to Thailand.

Can neurosurgery be combined with rehabilitation at Bumrungrad?

Yes, rehabilitation planning begins early and may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy depending on your condition. This integrated approach supports recovery of movement, speech, and daily function following neurosurgery or neurocritical illness.

How can I schedule an in-person appointment or online consultation at Bumrungrad?

You can schedule an in person appointment or an online video consultation with neurosurgery specialists at Bumrungrad International Hospital by contacting the International Patient Care team through:
WhatsApp: +1 718 550 0880
Telephone: +1 718 550 0880
Email: [email protected]
Online consultations are commonly used to review MRI or CT scans, discuss diagnosis, confirm whether surgery is required, and plan treatment timelines in advance.

How is stroke treated at Bumrungrad International Hospital?

Stroke treatment depends on whether the stroke is ischaemic or haemorrhagic and how quickly you arrive after symptoms begin.

Ischaemic stroke care focuses on restoring blood flow, including clot dissolving medications that are most effective when given within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, while haemorrhagic stroke treatment focuses on controlling bleeding and brain pressure, with surgery considered in severe cases.

How long will I need to stay in Thailand for neurosurgery?

Most international patients stay in Thailand for 7 to 21 days, depending on the diagnosis, type of neurosurgical treatment, and recovery needs.

Planned procedures such as brain tumour surgery or deep brain stimulation often require a longer stay for monitoring and follow up imaging, while emergency conditions such as stroke or brain haemorrhage may require extended neurocritical care before travel is considered safe.

Is an online consultation useful before travelling to Thailand?

Yes, online video consultations are widely used by international patients to review scans, confirm diagnosis, understand treatment options, and determine whether neurosurgery is necessary before making travel arrangements.

This helps ensure that your time in Thailand is used efficiently and appropriately.
