“[[Neurosurgical Techniques]]” and “[[Neurosurgical Procedures]]” 
----
Both "[[Neurosurgical Techniques]]" and "[[Neurosurgical Procedures]]" are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts depending on what you're referring to:

✅ "Neurosurgical Procedures"
Refers to: Specific types of surgeries or interventions (e.g., craniotomy, discectomy, aneurysm clipping).

Focuses on: The actual operations performed on patients.

Example use:

"Common neurosurgical procedures include laminectomy and tumor resection."

"The study compared outcomes across different neurosurgical procedures."

✅ "Neurosurgical Techniques"
Refers to: The methods or approaches used to perform procedures (e.g., minimally invasive, endoscopic, transsphenoidal, neuronavigation-guided).

Focuses on: The "how" of surgery — the operative strategies, tools, and innovations.

Example use:

"Advances in neurosurgical techniques have improved patient outcomes."

"The surgeon demonstrated a novel technique for dural closure."

🔍 Summary:
Use "procedures" when listing or categorizing surgeries.

Use "techniques" when discussing methodology, innovation, or surgical style.

If you’re titling a section or paper and want to encompass both, a safe and inclusive title might be:

"Neurosurgical Procedures and Techniques"

Or if focusing on innovation: "Advances in Neurosurgical Techniques"

If categorizing surgeries: "Classification of Neurosurgical Procedures"
