ENDOSCOPIC SURGERY

The endoscope represents a technical advance in neurosurgery by virtue of its precision for minimally invasive approaches to the brain, spine and peripheral nerves. Endoscopic procedures which we are certified to perform and offer to our patients include:

  1. Third ventriculostomy "for selected types of hydrocephalus"
  2. Intraventricular biopsy "for selected deep tumors of the brain"
  3. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy "for post-traumatic RSD pain and hyperhidrosis"
  4. Endoscopic thoracic spinal biopsy "for diagnosis of infections and tumors of the spine."
  5. Endoscopic pedicle fixation of the lumbar spine "for selected low back pain patients, with single level spondylolysis and/or spondylolisthesis"
  6. Endoscopic Carpel tunnel release "for carpal tunnel syndrome"
  7. Spinal Epiduroscopy "for direct visualization of nerve root condition and precision delivery of steroid in the previously operated lumbar spine."
