General Information
Neurosurgery is a medical speciality that deals with the surgical treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. This branch treats conditions such as tumours, trauma, vascular problems (e.g. brain aneurysms), spinal diseases (such as hernias, narrow canals) and nerve compression in the brain, spinal cord and nerves.
Neurosurgeons perform operations for both life-threatening emergencies (such as brain haemorrhages, spinal cord injuries) and planned surgical interventions. In addition, minimally invasive procedures have become common thanks to advanced techniques such as microscopic surgery and neuroendoscopy. This speciality requires advanced technology and high skill due to the complexity of diseases of the nervous system.
