What is a Neurosurgeon?
Many think that neurosurgeons are doctors who only operate on the brain, but they are much more than that. Neurosurgeons spend years learning to evaluate, investigate, and treat patients both nonsurgically and surgically with conditions of the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and all the structures surrounding them such as the spine and skull.
Neurosurgeons spend approximately 7 to 8 years after medical school becoming specialized.
These cases can either be nontraumatic or traumatic depending on the case.It’s important to know that neurosurgeons are trained to operate in every partof the human body and are highly specialized and required to not only maintaintheir medical and surgical skills, but to integrate those with fast moving andcomplicated technology. Our GHNC neurosurgeons recommend you receive a fullcomprehensive evaluation because they believe that surgery should always be thelast option.
