Brain Procedures

Any brain condition requires specialized treatment. If you have a brain disorder, a top neurosurgeon offers effective treatment to eliminate adverse symptoms and improve your mental health. Your neurologist conducts diagnostic tests on your brain using advanced equipment. From the diagnosis, your neurosurgeon develops an individualized treatment plan.

Brain treatments range from conservative to surgical. At Premier Brain & Spine in New Jersey and New York, neurosurgery and spine specialists use a multi-disciplinary approach to treat your issues. Our neurosurgeons have the expertise and equipment to perform the most complex brain procedures.

After your diagnosis, your brain surgeon decides how to proceed, based on the specific condition, the severity of symptoms and your overall health. Common brain treatments include:

• Craniotomy.
  • For this procedure, your neurosurgeon removes a section of your skull to expose the brain matter. Craniotomy is a diagnostic as well as treatment procedure. After the surgery, the doctor replaces the bone flap. This procedure addresses:
    • Brain tumors
    • Epilepsy
    • Brain abscesses or infections
    • Skull fractures
    • A brain aneurysm
    • A tear in the dura mater
    • Cerebral swelling
    • A brain hemorrhage
    • Blood clots

• Skull base surgery.
  • In this brain procedure, a neurosurgeon targets your skull base to remove growths or treat abnormalities. Your doctor uses a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure. Skull base surgery treats multiple conditions, including:
    • Cysts
    • Pituitary, sinus and orbital tumors near an eye
    • Other cancerous and non-cancerous tumors
    • Cerebrospinal fluid fistulas
    • Spinal fluid leaks
    • Acoustic neuroma
    • Aneurysms

• Endovascular surgery.
  • This minimally invasive procedure treats various blood vessel disorders. The procedure is less invasive than traditional brain surgery, reducing the risks of complications. Brain conditions treated with this surgery include:
    • Aneurysms
    • Arteriovenous malformations
    • Brain fistulas

• • Brain mapping.
    • Neurologists use this procedure to diagnose brain conditions. This procedure:
      • Distinguishes parts of the brain
      • Identifies symptoms of brain conditions
      • Links different parts of the brain to their functions
      • Enables new treatment protocols
