Cranial surgery is a branch of neurosurgery that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the brain and its surrounding tissues. Cranial neurosurgeons have advanced training and skill in the diagnosis and surgical therapy of disorders affecting the brain, skull, and surrounding tissues.

     Traumatic injuries, tumors, vascular abnormalities, congenital disorders, infections, and degenerative diseases are all grounds for cranial surgery. Neurosurgeons that specialize in cranial surgery treat these disorders with a variety of surgical approaches, including minimally invasive treatments.
