Neurosurgery is a relatively young discipline in medicine, one that began with a focus on survival. Today the focus goes beyond survival to restoring personalities, memories, limb function, even the ability to walk. Dr. Ketan Bulsara, chair of UConn Health's Department of Neurosurgery, joins Dr. Anthony Alessi to discuss restorative neurosurgery, as well as UConn Health's elite position when it comes to identifying and treating complex brain tumors, and how UConn is now attracting, training, and producing the next generation of talented neurosurgeons.

We've really moved into an age where we're focused on restorative neurosurgery, restorative for the brain, restorative for the spine.

— Dr. Ketan Bulsara
