There are many common diseases in neurosurgery, such as brain tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, neuralgia, etc. 1. What are the common diseases in neurosurgery? Neurosurgery is a branch of surgery. Based on surgery as the main treatment method in surgery, it applies unique neurosurgical research methods to study the human nervous system, such as the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system, as well as related affiliated institutions, such as skull, scalp, cerebrovascular meninges and other structural injuries, inflammation, tumors, deformities, and certain genetic metabolic disorders or dysfunctional diseases, such as the etiology and pathogenesis of epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, neuralgia, and other diseases.

2. How should nursing work in neurosurgery be carried out? 1. Strengthen psychological nursing: Eliminate psychological stress sources and introduce to patients the impact of psychological factors on the disease to eliminate their depression; introduce new progress in neurosurgery to give patients hope; invite surgeons to explain the reliability and safety of the surgical process before surgery; introduce the role of relevant medical instruments and environmental facilities in the postoperative or intensive care unit to help patients eliminate fear and anxiety.
2. Closely observe vital signs: The observation of consciousness and vital signs of patients with severe craniocerebral injury is crucial. If there is a deepening of consciousness disturbance and unequal pupil size, it suggests the possibility of cerebral hernia.
3. Do a good job in respiratory care: Maintain smooth respiratory tract, prevent aspiration, turn over and tap the back regularly; strengthen airway humidification; perform tracheotomy for patients who have been in a coma for more than 24 hours or have obvious respiratory disorders.
