Neurosurgery
What is neurological surgery?
Neurological surgery, also called neurosurgery, is the branch of medicine that provides both operative and nonoperative management of disorders that affect the central and peripheral nervous systems, including their supportive structures and vascular supply, and the operative and nonoperative management of pain.
Neurological surgery encompasses disorders of the brain, spine and nerves, including the following:
-
The extracranial and intracranial carotid and vertebral arteries
-
Intracranial aneurysms
-
Disorders of the pituitary gland, such as prolactinomas
-
Tumors in and around the brain, such as gliomas, meningiomas and acoustic neuromas
-
Disorders of the spinal cord, meninges, and spine, including those that may need treatment by removing or replacing intervertebral discs, spinal fusion, or instrumentation. When non-surgical treatment don't provide long-term relief for SI joint pain, SI-Bone's minimally invasive iFuse procedure is available.
-
Disorders of the peripheral nerves, such as carpal tunnel or entrapped ulnar nerve at the elbow
-
Disorders of the autonomic nervous system, such as hyperhidrosis
-
Disorders of movement, such as Parkinson disease and spasticity. Deep brain stimulation surgery can help manage symptoms.
-
Pain disorders, such as failed back syndrome or trigeminal neuralgia
-
Trauma, such as acute or chronic subdural hematomas
The surgeon who specializes in neurological surgery is called a neurosurgeon or neurological surgeon.
