Neurosurgery is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders affecting the entire nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, spinal column, and peripheral nerves. Neurosurgeons treat conditions like tumors, aneurysms, infections, and traumatic injuries using both surgical and non-surgical methods
Fun Facts
Neurosurgeons, who undergo ~15 years of training, rarely start with surgery, often managing conditions like back pain with physical therapy or injections instead. The brain itself has no pain receptors, allowing for awake brain surgery, and it has the consistency of soft Jell-O. Furthermore, neurosurgeons mostly operate on the spine, not the brain
