Some of the most common procedures performed by neurosurgeons include craniotomy (surgical opening of the skull), laminectomy (removal of a portion of the vertebral bone to relieve pressure on the spinal cord), and spinal fusion (the joining of two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine).
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with neurosurgery, including bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding tissue. However, the benefits of neurosurgery can be significant, including the relief of symptoms, improved quality of life, and even the prevention of more serious neurological damage.
