Neurological Surgery
Neurological Surgery (Neurosurgery) is the medical specialty dedicated to the surgical treatment of disorders affecting the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves. Neurosurgeons diagnose and manage conditions such as brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, and degenerative spine diseases.
They employ advanced surgical techniques, including minimally invasive procedures and stereotactic radiosurgery. Neurosurgery requires an in-depth understanding of neuroanatomy, neurology, and critical care, as neurosurgeons often perform life-saving interventions in high-stakes environments like the operating room and intensive care unit.
