Neurosurgery is any surgical operation performed on the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body. These procedures are used to evaluate and treat various conditions such as brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, stroke, epilepsy, and movement disorders like Parkinson's disease.
