Functional Neurosurgery

Advanced surgical technique used in treatment of Parkinson's disease, tremor, and dystonia. Electrodes are placed at target points in the brain to provide continuous electrical stimulation. Controlled and adjusted by a pacemaker placed beneath the chest.

Surgical removal of seizure focus in drug-resistant epilepsy treatment. Video-EEG monitoring identifies the seizure source and precise surgery removes the focus. Temporal lobe epilepsy has 60-80% success rate.

Placement of a stimulator on the vagus nerve in the neck for drug-resistant epilepsy. The device placed beneath the chest sends regular electrical impulses to reduce seizure frequency. A minimally invasive treatment option.

Single-session radiation treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, small tumors, and AVM. Focused radiation beams target the lesion without incisions. Painless and requires no anesthesia.

Microsurgical technique used in trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and other cranial nerve compressions. The blood vessel compressing the nerve is separated, eliminating the source of pain. The most permanent treatment method.

Drug pump placed in the abdomen for spasticity treatment. Delivers continuous baclofen into the spinal canal to reduce muscle rigidity. Used in cerebral palsy and spinal cord injuries.
