neurosurgical techniques

Neurosurgical techniques involve surgical procedures on the brain, spinal cord, and nerves to treat conditions like tumors, injuries, or chronic pain. Common techniques include craniotomy, where a section of the skull is removed to access the brain; endoscopic surgery, which uses small cameras and instruments through tiny incisions; and spinal surgery to relieve pressure on nerves. Neurosurgeons also perform minimally invasive techniques, which reduce recovery times and minimize damage to surrounding tissues. The goal is to restore function, relieve pain, or remove harmful conditions while ensuring the patient's safety and well-being.
