Idegsebészeti (neurosurgery) is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems. This field combines surgical techniques with advanced neuroanatomical knowledge to address conditions that impact the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and related structures.

Neurosurgeons are trained to perform complex operations, such as tumor removals, spinal fusion surgeries, and procedures to treat conditions like aneurysms, epilepsy, or traumatic brain injuries. They also employ minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic and stereotactic surgeries, to reduce risks and improve recovery outcomes. Beyond surgery, neurosurgeons often collaborate with neurologists, radiologists, and other specialists to develop comprehensive treatment plans.

Common conditions treated in neurosurgery include brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases (such as strokes and hemorrhages), spinal cord injuries, degenerative disc diseases, and congenital abnormalities. Advances in imaging technology, such as MRI and CT scans, allow for precise preoperative planning and real-time guidance during procedures. Additionally, innovations in robotics and artificial intelligence are increasingly integrated into neurosurgical practice to enhance precision and efficiency.

Training for a neurosurgeon typically involves a lengthy residency program following medical school, often lasting seven years or more, with additional fellowship opportunities for subspecialization. Ethical considerations, patient safety, and continuous education remain central to the profession, ensuring high standards of care in a rapidly evolving field. Neurosurgery plays a critical role in improving quality of life for patients with complex neurological disorders.
