Neurological Surgery
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital provides nationally recognized neurosurgical care to patients with injury to or diseases of the brain, spine and peripheral nerves, including head and spinal trauma, cerebrovascular disorders, brain and spinal tumors, movement disorders, epilepsy, disc surgery, and spinal instrumentation. To diagnose and manage this comprehensive range of neurologic diseases, patients at NewYork-Presbyterian benefit from the combined skills of a team of specialists, including neurosurgeons, endovascular surgeons, neurologists, neuroradiologists, and anesthesiologists.
NewYork-Presbyterian has a comprehensive program for the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors with special expertise in the management of pituitary tumors, meningiomas, gliomas and complex tumors of the skullbase. Neurosurgeons provide state-of-the-art treatment for a wide variety of tumors and vascular lesions using Gamma Knife technology, and have specialized expertise in stereotactic neurosurgery for the treatment of arteriovenous malformations.
Neurosurgeons at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center also work in close collaboration with advanced facilities at the Stroke Center to provide stroke patients with comprehensive care during the relatively short time window of a few hours during which intervention is most effective.
Widely acclaimed for pioneering achievements in research and clinical innovations, the Comprehensive Epilepsy Centers at both NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and provide a multidisciplinary approach to the complex medical and social needs of patients with seizures. Both Centers offers state-of-the-art medical and surgical treatment for the management of epilepsy, using an array of diagnostic procedures including MRI, SPECT, neuropsychological tests, Wada test, and PET scanning. Prior to surgery, brain mapping helps us to obtain maximal seizure control and minimize any dysfunction or difficulties following surgical treatment. The Comprehensive Epilepsy Center also offers exciting new treatments for epilepsy, such as Vagal Nerve Stimulation – a surgical treatment that does not involve surgery on the brain.
