Neurosurgery

From the first surgical consult to follow-up care, we tailor the experience to your specific needs, working with you, your primary care provider, and related subspecialists on a care and recovery plan designed to get you back to your life as quickly and fully as possible.

Using the very latest technologies, Trinity Health Of New England’s expert neurosurgery team provides state-of-the-art neurosurgical care for a wide variety of cranial disorders, including stroke, brain aneurysms, and brain tumors, as well as simple and complex surgical treatments for spinal cord diseases and injuries, from tumors, herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease to arthritis of the spine.

Collaborating with dedicated neuroscience units, our surgeons offer the most innovative procedures and techniques available to treat brain and spine diseases. Using their extensive experience, our neurosurgeons often treat these conditions with minimally invasive approaches, thus reserving more invasive surgery for when it is absolutely necessary.

A Range of Diagnoses

While non-surgical options are always the first choice for therapy, there is a range of more complex problems of the brain or spine that are best addressed with neurosurgery treatment, including:

  • Neurologic diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia
  • Epilepsy and other seizure disorders
  • Aneurysm and AVM repair
  • Benign and malignant tumors of the spine and brain
  • Vascular brain disorders, brain injury, and structural brain conditions
  • Diseases, fractures, and conditions of the spine
  • Stroke and other neurological emergencies
