Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery, or neurological surgery, is most often associated with brain
surgery. However, the specialty encompasses far more than brain care.
Neurosurgery includes procedures on the entire nervous system including
the brain, spine, spinal cord, and nerves that travel throughout the hands,
legs, arms, face, and other parts of the body.
Services
The Brain & Spine Institute offers a full range of neurosurgical and
neurological services. Our neurosurgeons treat conditions of the brain,
spine, and nerves.
Examples of surgeries performed include:
Computer navigation-assisted surgery for brain tumors
Spinal surgery, including both microsurgery and open minimally-invasive surgery
Surgery for trigeminal neuralgia, hemi facial spasm
Cervical and thoraco-lumbar surgery
Endoscopic disectomy
Cervical lumbar rhizotomy
We also provide a wide variety of implants for chronic pain and mobility
problems, including:
Minimally invasive spinal fusion
Dorsal column stimulation for chronic pain
Vagus nerve stimulation for seizures
Deep brain implants for essential tremors and Parkinson's disease

Adjustments for VNS and DBS stimulators

Pain injections including nerve blocks, epidural steroid injections, facet
blocks, and Sacro iliac joint blocks are performed in the office, sparing
patients a separate visit to the hospital.
Spine Academy
Patients scheduled for spinal surgery are encouraged to attend a Spine
Academy class. During this class our staff will walk you through the surgical
process, sharing tips for before and after surgery and during your recovery
process. Patients are asked to bring a caregiver or family member that
will assist them after surgery. For questions or more information, please
call our Navigator at

In addition to providing exceptional neurosurgical services in San Angelo,
we offer a virtual clinic in Del Rio. Patients of all ages are treated
