Neurosurgery

Our team of expert neurosurgeons uses the latest technology to perform advanced brain and spinal surgeries, including:

Brain Tumor Neurosurgery: We employ the most sophisticated techniques available to treat brain tumors and other lesions in the skull base that were thought to be inoperable. Using leading-edge BrainSUITE iMRI technology, we help patients with malignant, metastatic and benign tumors of the brain and pituitary gland.

Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery: We treat disorders of the blood vessels in the head and neck, including aneurysms, vascular tumors, malformations, occlusions and ischemia. Our innovative surgeries include aneurysm clipping, in which a clip is placed on the outside of the aneurysm to physically disconnect it from the artery.

Endovascular Neurosurgery: This microsurgery inside blood vessels and spinal vertebrae is used for stroke, aneurysms, tumors, and arteriovenous malformations and fistulae that are not treatable with conventional surgery. Our minimally invasive procedures include: 1) aneurysm coiling, in which thin metal spring-like coils are placed inside the aneurysm to prevent it from rupturing, and 2) clot retrieval, in which a high-tech device physically extracts the blood clot.

Spinal Neurosurgery: See Spine Care.

Stereotactic Neurosurgery: This minimally invasive microsurgery is mainly used for biopsies of the brain and tumor resection. Physicians employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans to identify the tumor's precise location and remove the tissue through a nickel-sized hole. By avoiding an invasive craniotomy, doctors excise only the tissue they need and minimize the chances of subsequent neurological issues, such as paralysis or speech impediment.
