Neurosurgery procedures we perform
Neurosurgeons perform procedures to treat the brain, spine, and nerves. Neurosurgery procedures and techniques we offer include:
Awake craniotomy
We remove a portion of the skull to access your brain and remove the tumor. You stay awake to ensure we do not affect any critical areas of the brain during the operation.
Cavitron
This ultrasonic surgical aspirator disintegrates and draws out brain tumors.
Cortical mapping
This technique shows the neurosurgeon where essential functions are located in the brain, so that they can avoid operating on those areas. Cortical mapping also identifies which area of the brain is causing seizures.
Deep brain stimulation
If other treatments don't control symptoms, we may offer deep brain stimulation (DBS), in which we implant a small device that sends electrical pulses to your brain.
Gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery
We use precise, focused radiation beams to shrink and destroy tumors. This advanced procedure doesn't require any incisions.
Intraoperative angiography
We may use blood vessel X-rays during neurosurgery to enhance outcomes for aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations.
Surgical navigation
Our surgeons use specialized computers to plan exactly where to operate in the brain.
