Functional Neurosurgery (Stereotactic Procedures)

Stereotactic neurosurgery, or surgery that allows highly accurate positioning of probes in the brain using three-dimensional imaging, is a growing field used to effectively treat neurological conditions such as Movement disorders. Epilepsy. Chronic pain stems from a stroke or other neurological condition.

Surgery for Brain Tumor

A craniotomy is the most common type of operation for a brain tumor. You usually have a craniotomy under a general anesthetic. This means that you will be asleep and won't feel anything. During a craniotomy, the neurosurgeon cuts out an area of bone from your skull.

Pediatric Neurosurgical Disorders (Hydrocephalus, Spina Bifida)

Many babies born with spina bifida get hydrocephalus (often called water on the brain). This means that there is extra fluid in and around the brain. The extra fluid can cause the spaces in the brain, called ventricles, to become too large and the head can swell.

Head Injury

Brain dysfunction is caused by an outside force, usually a violent blow to the head. Traumatic brain injury often occurs as a result of a severe sports injury or car accident. Immediate or delayed symptoms may include confusion, blurry vision, and difficulty concentrating. Infants may cry persistently or be irritable.

Treatments

Epilepsy surgery

Epilepsy surgery is most effective when seizures always occur in a single location in the brain. Epilepsy surgery is not the first line of treatment but is considered when at least two anti-seizure medications have failed to control seizures.

Neck & Lower Back Pain

Overuse, strenuous activity, or improper use, such as repetitive or heavy lifting. Trauma, injury, or fractures. Degeneration of vertebrae is often caused by stresses on the muscles and ligaments that support your spine, or the effects of aging. Infection.

Radiofrequency thermocoagulation

Percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation (PRT) is used to treat trigeminal neuralgia (TN) with a satisfactory pain relief but a high recurrence rate. Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of repeated PRT for recurrent TN as compared to patients who received the first PRT.

Spinal Pathology (Disc Prolapse, Tumors)

Tumors of the spinal cord or near the sciatic or femoral plexus can cause neural compression and clinical signs similar to those of disc herniation. Such tumors are usually misdiagnosed as discal herniation and appropriate treatment is delayed.

Vascular Disorders (AVM & Aneurysm)

An AVM puts extreme pressure on the thin and weak walls of the blood vessels. A bulge in a blood vessel wall (aneurysm) may develop and become susceptible to rupture. Brain damage. As you grow, your body may recruit more arteries to supply blood to the fast-flowing AVM.
