The specialist at Wáberer Medical Center, Dr. Zoltán Rideg gives us insights of this special field of medicine.

What is the nervous system?

The central nervous system of our body is located in the brain and spinal cord, from which nerves run. Its network, like the vascular system, is a continuously branching system consisting of smaller and smaller units, which reminds us of the trunk and branches of a sprawling tree.

Neuromedicine and neurosurgery deal with the various pathological conditions of this system. The neurosurgeons at the Wáberer Medical Center specialize in related diseases and pathological conditions and offer patients the most modern solutions.

What are similar medical fields?

Neurosurgery works closely with other specialties such as neurology, traumatology, rheumatology and orthopedics. Neurosurgery cures diseases in many of the above-mentioned areas with conservative (non-surgical) and surgical procedures, while focusing on protecting the nervous system, restoring its functions and eliminating complaints.
