The working environment for neurosurgeons is quite pleasant with most of the patient interaction and surgeries happening inside well-equipped hospitals. However, work hours can be long and at times, neurosurgeons end up spending 50-60 hours (or even more, depending on the practice) in a week. Certain surgeries might take 3-4 hours, whereas the more complicated ones might even exceed 10 hours. Neurosurgeons might also be required to attend to emergencies during off-hours and weekends. However, the perks and the satisfaction offered, in the end, are unparalleled.
