Conditions We Address
Our neurosurgeons possess extensive training and expertise in treating various neurological conditions, including:
- Brain Tumors: Both malignant and benign tumors require specialized surgical intervention for removal or biopsy.
- Spinal Cord Tumors: These tumors can cause pain, weakness, and other neurological problems. Neurosurgery can remove tumors or alleviate pressure on the spinal cord.
- Aneurysms: Weakened sections of blood vessels in the brain pose a risk of rupture and bleeding. Neurosurgery can repair aneurysms and prevent complications.
- Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can cause serious neurological problems. Neurosurgeons may perform surgery to remove blood clots, repair fractures, or relieve pressure on the brain.
- Stroke: Strokes occur when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, causing brain tissue damage. In some cases, neurosurgery may be necessary to remove blood clots or relieve pressure on the brain.
- Epilepsy: Seizures are a hallmark of epilepsy, and some patients may benefit from surgery to remove the part of the brain causing them.
- Movement Disorders: Conditions like Parkinson's disease and tremors can be managed through surgical techniques like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).
- Chronic Pain: Spinal cord stimulators or other surgical interventions can be used to manage chronic pain.
- Hydrocephalus: A buildup of fluid in the brain that can cause pressure and neurological problems. Neurosurgeons can place shunts to drain excess fluid.
Minimally Invasive Techniques: Smaller Scars, Faster Recovery
Whenever possible, our neurosurgeons prioritize minimally invasive surgical techniques, including:
- Endoscopic surgery: Utilizing thin instruments and a camera inserted through small incisions for magnified visualization and precise procedures.
- Robotic-assisted surgery: Employing robotic technology to enhance precision and control during complex procedures.
