Common neurosurgery treatments
Advancing Neurosurgery Care
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a life-changing therapy for many people with movement disorders, including:
- Dystonia
- Essential tremor
- Parkinson’s disease
Our neurosurgeons do DBS surgery to improve your movement when medications alone are not enough. We determine exactly where to stimulate your brain to help reduce your symptoms.
For one-third of people living with epilepsy, anti-seizure medication alone does not work. Where available, you can get extensive tests and surgical treatment for epilepsy.
Testing in our Epilepsy Monitoring Units and procedures such as stereotactic electroencephalography (EEG) can help pinpoint the type and cause of seizures.
Our neurosurgeons collaborate with neurologists and technicians to control your seizures. Epilepsy surgery works to remove or treat the area that causes seizures.
Undergoing brain or spine tumor treatment is scary and uncertain. But you can trust our neuro-oncologists for skilled, personalized care.
We regularly remove brain and spine tumors, whether common, rare, cancerous or noncancerous. We offer specialized glioblastoma treatment at select centers with results well above the national average.
Our neurosurgery teams use the latest techniques and therapies available, including:
- CyberKnife® radiosurgery
- Gamma Knife® radiosurgery
- Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT)
Our neurosurgeons do minimally invasive surgery for brain, spine and nerve conditions whenever possible. We know that minimally invasive methods lead to less pain, shorter hospital stays and a faster recovery.
We offer minimally invasive neurosurgeries such as:
- Endoscopic and endovascular neurosurgery
- Mini-craniotomy
- Minimally invasive back surgery
- Minimally invasive tubular surgery
- Transsphenoidal hypophysectomy
We offer many neurosurgical procedures to help diagnose conditions as early as possible. These procedures can inform your care team and help determine a treatment plan.
Procedures to help diagnose neurological conditions may include:
- Brain and spine tumor biopsies
- Cerebral angiogram
- Stereo-electroencephalography (EEG) testing
- Spinal tap (lumbar puncture)
