A neurosurgeon is a medical doctor specialized in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. They perform surgical procedures to address conditions such as brain tumors, spinal injuries, and neurovascular disorders. In addition to surgery, neurosurgeons may also engage in non-surgical management and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care. Their training involves extensive education in both general surgery and neurosurgery.
