Neurosurgery, also known as brain and nerve surgery, is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the brain and spinal cord, as well as tumors that originate from or exert pressure on these tissues. It involves the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as herniated discs in the neck and back, head and spinal cord injuries, brain vascular occlusions and hemorrhages, and diseases related to the blood vessels that supply the brain and spinal cord, including aneurysms. It also addresses conditions such as sciatica, leg pain, arm pain, and numbness in the hands and feet, nerve compressions, spinal cord tumors, carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral nerve compressions, tunnel syndromes, and pediatric brain surgeries. Other areas of focus include brain tumors, emergency neurosurgery for head and spinal cord trauma, aneurysm surgery, microsurgery for herniated discs in the neck and back, and pituitary gland surgeries.
