Neurosurgery is the branch of surgery concerned with the nervous system (brain or spinal cord or peripheral nerves).

Surgical diseases of the nervous system are most frequently manifestations of space-occupying lesions, be they tumor, hemorrhage, abscess, edema, spinal fluid, or foreign body. The technique of their removal or the control of their effects, as well as an understanding of the mechanisms causing malfunction in the nervous system, makes neurologic surgery a specialty.

Neurofibromatosis, skull base tumors, brain tumors, spinal cord tumors, spinal cord and peripheral nerve injuries, structural abnormalities of the axial skeleton, trauma, vascular diseases of the nervous system, congenital malformations, and trigeminal neuralgia are some of the many conditions treated by the House Clinic neurosurgeons.
