Neurosurgery deals with the surgical treatment of pathologies affecting the brain, spinal cord, spine, and peripheral nerves.
It is a specialty that includes very different procedures, from brain and spinal cord surgery to the treatment of spinal pathologies, up to peripheral nerve surgery. Activities performed also include microsurgery of pituitary adenomas, brain tumor surgery, and the treatment of trauma involving the skull, spine, and spinal cord.
Particular attention is dedicated to minimally invasive spine surgery, used in the treatment of degenerative, traumatic, and oncological conditions. The treatment of cervical and lumbar disc herniations also falls within this scope.
Neurosurgery also deals with peripheral nerve pathologies, with dedicated interventions, for example, for carpal tunnel syndrome, brachial plexus pathologies, and ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow.
