Neurosurgery Doctors

Neurosurgery or Neurological Surgery is the medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders that affect the entire nervous system.

Neurosurgery doctors that specialize in this field of medicine are called neurosurgeons. Neurosurgeons focus on disorders of the nervous system, brain, pituitary gland, spinal cord and spinal column. Conditions regularly treated by neurosurgeons are aneurysms (strokes), epilepsy, ruptured discs in the back, brain tumors, pinched nerves carpal tunnel syndrome, and spasms.

Procedures commonly performed by neurosurgery doctors include: brain aneurysm surgery (stroke surgery), brain tumor surgery, spine surgery (laminectomy, discectomy, microdiscectomy, spinal fusion), and sterotactic radiosurgery.

Neurosurgery doctors may sub-specialize in pediatric neurosurgery, neurocritical care, functional and stereotactic surgery, surgical neuro-oncology, neurovascular surgery, interventional neuroradiology, or skull base surgery.
