Neurosurgery with Stereotactic & Video Neuro Endoscopic Surgery

Neurosciences: The specialty concerned with the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of disorders of the human nervous system. The human nervous system. Composed of the brain, the spinal cord and countless nerve fibers, this vast, complex network is our life source. It controls our ability to think, to feel, to move.
