Neurosurgery

---

Neurosurgeons at Commonwealth Health work with a multidisciplinary team of specialists in radiology, pain management and other specialties to provide care for each patient. Specialized neurosurgery nurses and other clinicians attend to the special requirements of neurosurgery patients. We provide a range of rehabilitation services to assist patients through recovery.

The board-certified neurosurgeons have access to advanced imaging technology for care planning, and utilize surgical technology to provide care, including:

• Non-invasive techniques - Stereotactic radiosurgery uses focused beams of radiation, rather than traditional surgical instruments, to treat brain tumors without a surgical incision.
• Minimally invasive options - Interventional radiology techniques - which use catheters with instruments or medications - such as angioplasty, stenting and embolization can be used to treat tumors, stroke and other cerebrovascular conditions.
• Intraoperative monitoring - Sophisticated monitoring equipment allows surgeons to identify changes in brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerve function before irreversible damage occurs.
