When you have a neurological condition, surgery may be the best treatment option. Our neurosurgeons at North Kansas City Hospital are ready to help. We use the least invasive procedures to give you the best treatment with a faster recovery time.
What is Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery is a medical specialty that focuses on conditions of the central nervous system — including the brain, spine and spinal cord. You may need neurosurgery for a neurological condition if nonsurgical treatment options don’t relieve your pain.
Our neurosurgery team at NKCH includes neurologists, experienced nurses, anesthesiologists and neurophysiologists. They work together to give you the surgical treatment you need.
