Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is a specialized branch of surgery focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurosurgeons perform surgical procedures to treat conditions such as brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, aneurysms, and herniated discs. They also address issues like epilepsy, hydrocephalus, and trauma to the head and spine. Neurosurgery can involve complex and delicate operations, such as brain surgery, spinal fusion, and minimally invasive techniques to relieve pressure on nerves or remove tumors. Neurosurgeons work closely with neurologists and other specialists to provide comprehensive care, often dealing with life-threatening or disabling conditions.
