Brain and Spinal Cord Surgery is a specialized field primarily focused on the surgical treatment of central and peripheral nervous system disorders. It encompasses the diagnosis and surgical treatment of both benign and malignant brain tumors, spinal cord tumors, and tumors that affect peripheral nerves. It is responsible for the surgical treatment of common types of spine and spinal cord disorders, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. Neurosurgery specialists are responsible for emergency surgical interventions, particularly in cases of traumatic injuries to the nervous system (head trauma, traumatic brain hemorrhage, spinal cord injuries) that require urgent attention.
