Here’s what neurosurgeons do and the critical role they play in patient care:
Surgical Expertise: Neurosurgeons perform surgeries to treat a variety of conditions, including brain tumors, cerebral aneurysms, spinal disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and traumatic injuries to the brain and spine. They are trained to operate on very delicate areas, where precision is critical to preserving neurological function.
