Brain surgery
Brain surgery is used to treat a variety of conditions, such as tumors, blood clots, aneurysms, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. It is performed by a neurosurgeon and involves a physician anesthesiologist with extensive knowledge of the types of anesthesia, monitoring, and post-operative care required for these sensitive operations. In some cases, this physician anesthesiologist will be a neuroanesthesiologist who has received advanced clinical training in anesthesia for brain and spinal surgeries.
