neurosurgeries
Cutting into skulls
Neurosurgeries is the plural of neurosurgery, referring to multiple surgical procedures performed on the brain, spinal cord, or other parts of the nervous system: She underwent three neurosurgeries over the course of a year.
The term may also refer to multiple neurosurgery departments or practices: The hospital's neurosurgeries are among the busiest in the region.
