Bread and butter neurosurgery is spinal fusion (lumbar and cervical), head trauma, and glioma resection. Things get more complicated with cerebrovascular surgery (i.e., aneurysms) and more complicated tumors like those at the skull base.
Depends on the practice, but at our clinic it works out to roughly:
50% Lumbar discectomy and laminectomy
20% ACDFP
10% Tumor
10% Trauma
5% Peripheral nerves (CTR, ulnar nerve decompression)
5% Misc (Temporal artery biopsy, sural nerve biopsy, ESI, shunts)
A lot depends on your patient population, your referal base, if you take workmans comp, etc.
