At Southwest Neurosurgical Associates, our goal is to address
whatever neurosurgical problem you might have with compassion,
efficiency,
and state-of-the-art
care.
In most cases, your doctor has asked us to see you to render
a surgical opinion about a Neurosurgical disorder affecting
either the brain or spine. In some cases our recommendation
may be either a conventional surgical procedure or in the case
of some brain disorders, a non-surgical procedure called Gamma
Knife radiosurgery. In other cases, we may recommend that non-surgical
management or simple observation is the best course of action.
Procedures we perform include
(but are not limited to) the following:
- Anterior cervical discectomy with fusion
- Cervical disc replacement (Prodisc-C)
- Craniotomy
- Deep brain stimulation
- Gamma Knife radiosurgery
- Lumbar decompression
- Lumbar fusion
- Microdecompression (tubular retractor)
- Microdiscectomy
- Minimally invasive fusions including XLIF, TLIF, ILIF
- Posterior cervical fusion
- Stereotactic biopsy
- Trans-sphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma
- Ventriculoperitoneal shunt
Patient Education information on these disorders and procedures
can be found by viewing our patient education animations. Additional information can also be found at the Congress
of Neurosurgical Surgeons website and the Spine Universe
website.
