Neurosurgery By Dr. Marjan Assefi
Neurosurgery, also known as neurological surgery, is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Neurosurgeons are trained to treat a wide range of conditions, such as brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, cerebral aneurysms, and movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease. They use a variety of surgical techniques, including open surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and endovascular surgery.
In recent years, there have been significant advances in the field of neuroscience surgery, particularly in the use of imaging technology and computer-assisted surgery. For example, neurosurgeons may use MRI or CT scans to create 3D images of the brain or spinal cord, which can help guide surgical procedures with greater precision and accuracy. In addition, computer-assisted surgery can help neurosurgeons perform complex procedures more safely and efficiently.
Neurosurgery is a complex and demanding field, and requires many years of specialized training and experience. Neurosurgeons work closely with other medical professionals, such as neurologists, radiologists, and anesthesiologists, to provide comprehensive care for patients with neurological disorders.
