Neurosurgery deals with the surgical treatment of diseases of the nervous system composed of the brain, spinal cord and bony spinal column. With the advancement in technology, there is virtually no area of the brain where lesions cannot be approached with a high degree of safety and accuracy. The advent of minimally invasive surgery has contributed to a much shorter hospital stay and heightened patient comfort.
