Who is a Neurosurgeon?

Neurosurgeons are medical doctors who are trained in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the spine, brain, and other parts of the nervous system. They are different from neurologists as they are specifically certified and trained in the use of surgical treatments, and neurologists generally focus on other forms of treatment.

One of the highly experienced and trained specialists in medicine, a neurosurgeon spends much time consulting with other doctors regarding various cases. These doctors have their own roster of cases, each with different challenges. Not all cases would need surgery, though many of them likely will.

A neurosurgeon performs more spine than brain surgery. Some of them specialize in particular types of spinal problems like lumbar (low back) and cervical (neck) disorders, or spinal cord injury. Pediatric neurosurgeons treat children and infants, while other neurosurgeons can treat disorders affecting adults.

A neurosurgeon treats people with a wide range of neurological issues as listed below:
