The phrase "it's not brain surgery" means that a particular concept or task is not difficult. Brain surgery, by contrast, is an extremely difficult endeavor -- if someone's performing surgery on your brain, that takes a lot of time and effort. A similar phrase is "it's not rocket science."

Whatever task I am talking about "isn't very hard."
For example: If I were explaining how to turn on my T.V. to one of my friends, and after 3 or 4 times they still didn't understand how to do it.
I might respond by saying, "Geez man, it's not brain surgery, you idiot."
Or something along those lines..
Is that what you were wanting?
