Brain Tumor Surgery
Our neurosurgery team works closely with a multidisciplinary group of physicians, including local radiation oncologists and neurologists, in order to offer the latest treatment options available for brain tumor patients.
Our neurosurgeon uses the BrainSUITE at the Medical City of Plano, the state-of-the-art operating room that integrates intraoperative MRI and image-guided navigational techniques. This allows him to double-check his work and make better informed decisions, which leads to safer, more successful surgeries and faster recoveries. The advanced technology allows him to precisely remove brain tumors in difficult locations, with minimal damage to healthy brain tissue.
Brain Tumors
There are many different types of brain tumors that may require surgery here at our Dallas spine center. Tumors can be both malignant and benign and come with a host of symptoms and side effects. Some of the most common tumors we treat here at NeuroSpine include:
- Meningiomas
- Gliomas
- Pituitary Tumors/Cyst
- Acoustic Neuroma
- Dermoids/Epidermoids
Brain
There are many different conditions, diseases, and abnormalities that affect the brain that can be treated with surgery. The brain is a complex system that can experience a broad range of diseases, deformities, conditions, and trauma. Some of the most common brain disorders that our knowledgeable spinal surgeons can address include:
- Chiari Malformations
- Congenital Malformations
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- Trauma

Cerebrovascular
Cerebrovascular conditions affect the blood vessels in the brain. Strokes can result from blood vessel conditions such as aneurysms (blood vessel weakness which can result in a rupture) and thrombosis (blood vessel blockage).
- Aneurysms

- Epidural Hematoma
- Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
- Saccular aneurysms
- Arteriovenous malformations
- Cavernomas (venous malformations)

Peripheral Nerve
Peripheral nerves are the ones outside of the brain and spinal cord. These disorders distort or interrupt the messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Peripheral Nerve Injury
- Ulnar neuropathy (due to entrapment at elbow)
