Neurosurgery or neurological surgery, known in common parlance as brain surgery, is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, central and peripheral nervous system, and cerebrovascular system

Neurosurgery (also called neurological surgery) is a highly specialized medical field focused on surgical treatment of disorders of the brain and spine. The Department of Neurosurgery at Weill Cornell Medicine and the Weill Cornell Medical College is a leader in advanced minimally invasive treatment methods, cutting-edge laboratory and clinical neurosurgical research, and the training of the next generation of neurosurgeons.
