Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery is a specialty of surgery that involves surgical treatment of disorders of the brain, spinal cord and the peripheral nerves. With the advent of microsurgery techniques and ultra modern technology neurosurgery has grown from making burr holes in the skull for mere life saving in the olden days to the most complex surgical procedures involving the brain, spinal cord and the nerves.
