When stroke, trauma or other medical conditions affect your nervous system, expert surgical care can restore function and improve your quality of life. At Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, our team of renowned neurosurgeons detects and treats the full spectrum of neurological diseases. Using advanced surgical techniques and a compassionate, patient-centered approach, we help patients from New York City and around the world achieve the best possible outcomes.

What Is Neurosurgery?

Your nervous system includes two parts. They are:

• The central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord.
• The peripheral nervous system comprises the body’s peripheral nerves, which are the nerves located beyond the brain and spinal cord.

Neurosurgery is a branch of medicine that addresses issues affecting both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

Conditions We Treat With Neurosurgery

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ neurosurgery team collaborates with a multidisciplinary team to provide comprehensive care for all types of neurologic disorders, including.

Brain & Neurological Conditions

• Brain aneurysm
• Concussion and traumatic head injuries
• Epilepsy and seizure disorders
• Movement disorders (Parkinson’s Disease, essential tremor, dystonia)
• Trigeminal Neuralgia
• Pituitary tumors

Spine & Spinal Cord Conditions

• Brain and spine injury

Peripheral Nerve Conditions

Vascular Conditions

• Carotid artery disease

Types of Neurosurgery

Along with standard treatments, we offer the full suite of advanced neurosurgery treatment options, including:

• Brain tumor surgery. Surgeons remove cancer and other abnormal growths through our Neuro-Oncology Program. These procedures stop disease progression. They also bring relief from symptoms affecting vision, thinking, hearing and more.
• Cerebrovascular surgery. Neurosurgeons correct blood vessels that are leaking, narrow, tangled or have other issues. These surgeries help you recover from or avoid conditions, such as stroke or problems that cause severe pain.
• Deep brain stimulation. Through our , electrodes placed on the brain send small electrical signals to the parts of the brain that manage mood, pain, movement and more. This reduces symptoms and brings relief of several conditions, such as Parkinson’s and essential tremor.
• Epilepsy surgery. The neurosurgeon finds and removes the source of seizures. Through our , laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) corrects these issues without damaging nearby healthy tissue.
• Interventional neuroradiology. Guided by three-dimensional imaging, the surgeon treats aneurysms, strokes and other conditions with endoscopic techniques. These surgeries use small incisions, resulting in faster recovery and shorter hospitalization.
• Pituitary and anterior skull base surgery. Our expert surgeons remove benign and cancerous tumors without a single incision. Instead, they operate through the nostrils. In some cases, this is the only possible treatment for pituitary tumors.
• Spine surgery. Surgeons perform open surgery or advanced minimally invasive techniques for simple and complex cases of scoliosis and other spinal deformities.
• Stereotactic radiosurgery. Our neurosurgery team works across departments to ensure a multidisciplinary approach to your care. Once the tumor or other problem area is identified with three-dimensional imaging, the radiation oncologist focuses a beam of radiation on the area. This radiation treats abnormal cells with minimal effect on healthy nearby tissue.

Why Choose Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ neurosurgeons offer the latest in minimally invasive surgery for a wide range of brain and spine conditions in adults and children. Thanks to our skill and compassion, we’re consistently named to national and New York City lists of Top Doctors, Best Doctors and Super Doctors.

When you visit Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ with neurologic needs, your care doesn’t begin in the operating room. Our comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach typically begins with the least invasive treatments, such as medication or lifestyle changes. We only recommend surgery when necessary.

Regardless of the neurological issue affecting you, our neurosurgeons work to diagnose and treat it effectively. Most of the time, your diagnostic journey begins with a physical exam and a discussion of your medical history and symptoms. Imaging studies then help visualize what is going on inside your body. Your neurosurgery team may prescribe an MRI, CT scan, biopsy or other tests. This information helps determine the root of your issue. It also helps your team develop a treatment plan.
