NGPG Neurosurgery’s board-certified neurosurgeons provide high-quality care and the latest treatment options for patients with neurological conditions.
Surgical Treatments
NGPG offers the following surgical procedures for neurological conditions:
Deep brain stimulation is a neurosurgical treatment that has been shown to provide significant improvements for otherwise treatment-resistant movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. Learn more.
Discectomy is the most typical surgery for a herniated disc. During a discectomy, surgeons remove all or part of the damaged intervertebral disc. Most patients with a herniated disc respond well to non-surgical treatments, but if several months have passed without relief, your doctor may recommend surgery. Learn more.
EC-IC (short for extracranial-intracranial) bypass surgery is performed to restore blood flow to the brain. A cerebral bypass is the brain’s equivalent of a coronary bypass in the heart. The procedure connects a blood vessel from outside the brain to a vessel inside the brain to reroute blood flow around a damaged or blocked artery. This type of surgery is used to treat aneurysms, moyamoya disease, and stroke symptoms.
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that removes small fragments of spinal disc, ligament, and bone to relieve pressure from a herniated disc.
Whereas some conditions require open surgery, which has a longer recovery time, others can be treated by using minimally invasive techniques, which result in smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, less pain after surgery, and fewer complications. Neurosurgeons often use minimally invasive techniques in brain or spine surgery.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses 3D imaging to target high doses of radiation to affected areas in the brain or spine. This type of surgery requires no incisions and has a minimal impact on the surrounding healthy tissue.
