Track 11: Neurosurgery and Spine
Neurosurgery, also referred to as neurological surgery, is a medical specialty dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system. This surgical field addresses conditions such as brain tumors, spinal cord abnormalities, and nerve root dysfunction. Back pain resulting from nerve root issues can cause symptoms like numbness, muscle weakness, and impaired bowel and bladder control, signaling the need for surgical intervention. Procedures like discectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion are commonly used to alleviate severe back pain. However, neurosurgery carries risks, including potential nerve damage and infections, which may lead to paralysis.
