Pediatric Neurosurgery
Pediatric neurosurgery is a subspecialty of neurosurgery that treats children with operable neurological conditions. It involves surgical procedures involving the nervous system, brain, and spinal cord.
Children:
Children are never to be compared with small adults. They are not always able to express their concerns. They are not necessarily expected to be polite and cooperative, nor will they always answer medical questions. Any serious illness that strikes a child creates tremendous emotional and physical stress for the child as well as the rest of the family. Neurosurgery in children can be challenging and complicated. In children and adolescents, we provide comprehensive treatment for a wide variety of brain, spine, peripheral nerve, and craniofacial disorders.
