Neurosurgery has made great advances in recent years as a result of a greater understanding from research of neurological conditions and technological breakthroughs which have expanded the scope of surgery. Deep brain stimulation, neuromodulation, role of stereotactic radiosurgery and proton beam therapy, robotic surgery, endoscopic surgery, endovascular techniques and advances in the treatment of brain and spine tumours are some of the topics which will be covered.
