Brain, Spinal Cord and Peripheral Nerve Surgery is a specialty primarily focused on the surgical treatment of central and peripheral nervous system disorders. The diagnosis and surgical treatment of benign and malignant brain tumors, spinal cord tumors and tumors involving the peripheral nerves fall within this field of expertise. The department is responsible for the surgical treatment of the most common conditions of the spine and spinal cord, such as lumbar and cervical herniated discs, spinal canal narrowing (spinal stenosis) and spondylolisthesis (slipped disc). Trauma to the nervous system (head injuries, traumatic brain hemorrhages and spinal cord injuries) and other conditions that may require emergency surgical intervention are also part of the neurosurgeon's domain.
