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

We also provide a wide variety of implants for chronic pain and mobility
