Procedures and treatment options

Neurosurgical Procedures

Cranial neurosurgery

  • Brain Tumors (practice focus): diagnosis, resection, biopsy, radiosurgery
  • Cerebrovascular Disorders (practice focus): aneurysms clipping, hemorrhage stroke evacuation, arteriovenous malformation AVM resection
  • Trauma: traumatic brain injury (TBI),  hematoma evacuation, decompressive craniectomy, skull fracture repair
  • Hydrocephalus: ventricular shunt or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV)
  • Infections: Drainage of brain abscesses or subdural empyema

Spinal neurosurgery

  • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (practice focus): Microdiscectomy, decompression, single and multilevel instrumentation and fusion
  • Disc Replacement (practice focus): cervical and lumbar
  • Deformity Correction (practice focus): Scoliosis or kyphosis correction
  • Degenerative Spine Disease: discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion (e.g. ACDF, TLIF, ALIF, OLIF).
  • Spinal Trauma: Fracture stabilization, decompression of spinal cord injuries, kyphoplasty
  • Spinal Tumors: Resection of intradural/extradural tumors
  • Chronic pain: Spinal cord stimulator trial and permeant placement

Emergency & Critical Care

  • Neurotrauma: Management of polytrauma patients with head/spinal injuries
  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage: ICU care of hydrocephalus and vasospasm
  • Intracranial pressure management: Monitoring, EVD placement

Non-Operative Management

  • Pain management procedures: Work with pain management doctors in our network to coordinate steroid injection and other procedural treatments
  • Diagnostic Workup:  Interpretation of imaging (MRI, CT, xray, angiography, EMG)
  • Collaborative Care: Coordinating with intensivists, hospitalists, neurologists, oncologists, pain management specialists, physiatrists, and PCPs for conditions like chronic pain, polytrauma, hydrocephalus or metastatic disease.
