Neurosurgery is the medical specialty related to the nervous system of both adults and pediatric patients. It is also known as brain surgery.
Although many think it concerns only with the brain, it also comprises the diagnosis, surgical or non-surgical treatment, and the rehabilitation of patients with disorders, diseases or injury to the any part of the nervous system including, obviously the brain, the spine and spinal cord as well as the peripheral nerves.
Neurosurgeons are the medical specialists who treat and operate on nervous system diseases, disorders and injuries. Other than surgery, they are also experts in the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of these diseases.
