About Functional Neurosurgery
Functional neurosurgery treats disorders of brain function by modifying nerve circuits, using procedures such as deep brain stimulation, epilepsy surgery and nerve decompression.
It is considered when medicines no longer control symptoms. Careful selection and evaluation by a team of neurologists and neurosurgeons are essential.
