Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery is the surgical discipline focused on treating the central and peripheral nervous system.
Neurosurgeons undergo a rigorous training program consisting of 6–7 years post-graduate study after medical school. This field of medicine is considered to be one of the most difficult and therefore the most prestigious.
Neurosurgical conditions include primarily brain and spinal cord disorders.
Some of the most common conditions treated by neurosurgeons include:
- Lumbar disc herniation
- Cervical disc herniation
- Hydrocephalus
- Head trauma (brain hemorrhages, skull fractures, etc.)
- Brain tumors
- Cerebral aneurysms
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage
- Spinal stenosis
