Neurosurgery is one of the most complex and sensitive surgeries one can ever undergo. It is typically performed to treat some of the neurological conditions that some individuals are afflicted with after an accident, due to a familial trait or on a newborn baby who suffered a birth injury. Neurosurgeons are charged with the responsibility of treating as well as diagnosing disorders of the nervous system. They can treat various neurological issues such as brain tumors, strokes, brain infections, degenerative illnesses such as Huntington’s and multiple sclerosis, and so on. Operating on the brain as well as the nervous cord requires an extremely high level or medical expertise as any wrong move or negligent act can leave the patient paralyzed, with complications that will last for the rest of their lives, or worse, dead. It is therefore important that neurosurgeons undergo over a decade of study and training in order to become the best at their field. Should their actions cause the patient harm, negligence must be suspected, and it may be time to seek out the services of a medical malpractice attorney.

On top of that, neurosurgeons are expected to complete up to 7 years of residency in order to become bona fide experts. All of this is done in order to make sure that they can carry out their medical duties to such a high level of competence that there is no room for error.
