Neuro & Spinal Surgery

Neurology

Neurology is a distinct section of medical science that precisely deals with the disorders of nervous system. To be very specific, the kind of treatment category deals with the central, peripheral and autonomous nervous system along with their coverings, blood vessels and muscles. Neurosurgery: It is a particular domain of surgical procedure that is basically concerned with prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of ailments, which affects any part of the nervous system including brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and extra-cranial cerebrovascular system.
