Dr. Corniola primarily practices at the Clinique de Genolier in Geneva, the Clinique de La Source in Lausanne and the EHNV in Yverdon. Consultations outside regular hours can also be arranged upon request.
There are several reasons to seek a consultation, including pain, sensory or motor symptoms, or to discuss the management of a specific condition. At the start of the consultation, it is important to describe your symptoms clearly in your own words.
This is followed by a review of your medical history and a clinical examination. Your doctor will then assess any relevant imaging studies and provide a summary, along with possible diagnostic hypotheses. If a neurosurgical condition is identified, this will guide the appropriate management plan.
However, surgery is not always necessary.
No. Some clinics have LaMal service agreements, which may allow you to receive care even without supplementary insurance.
Yes, unfortunately. Recurrence rates vary between 3% and 15% according to studies. It is therefore important to take care of your back following surgery.
Neurologists focus on outpatient care, providing non-surgical solutions for nervous system disorders. Neurosurgeons, on the other hand, perform surgical interventions to treat conditions of the central and peripheral nervous system. Their expertise in surgery is supported by specialised training, clinical experience, and research, often working closely with other specialists in healthcare institutions to provide surgical treatment for patients requiring urgent or complex interventions.
