Minimally invasive neurosurgery utilizes state of the art, neuro-navigation technology to access delicate areas of the brain and spine. This technique reduces incision size and usually allows surgeons to hide cosmetic scars.
Skull base surgery is a highly specialized, minimally invasive surgical technique for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating benign or cancerous growths located on the base of the skull and the upper vertebrae of the spinal column.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment that transmits electric signals to areas of the brain typically responsible for motor functions. The stimulator transmits or sends these electrical pulses to block the faulty nerve signals that cause tremors, chronic pain, and other symptoms.
Spinal fusion surgery is sometimes used for spinal compression fractures to terminate movement between two vertebrae and ease pain. The technique joins two or more vertebrae together, holds them in the right position, and keeps them from moving until they have a chance to grow together, or join.
