Even though they deal with diagnosing and treating nervous system diseases like what neurologists do, neurosurgeons are licensed to operate and perform surgeries on the patient’s brain.
There are several sub-branches of neurosurgery, namely: Vascular neurosurgery, Stereotactic Neurosurgery, Skull base surgery, Spinal neurosurgery, Peripheral nerve surgery, Oncological neurosurgery, and Pediatric Neurosurgery.
