Neurosurgery involves a range of procedures aimed at treating neurological conditions. At Tieten Medicity, we offer advanced surgical treatments tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Some of the most common treatments include:

• Brain Tumor Surgery:
  Surgical removal of brain tumors (both benign and malignant), often followed by radiation therapy or chemotherapy, depending on the type of tumor.

• Spinal Surgery:

  • Discectomy: Removal of a herniated disc to relieve nerve pressure.
  • Spinal Fusion: Stabilization of the spine by fusing two or more vertebrae together.
  • Laminectomy: Removal of part of the vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
  • Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty: Minimally invasive procedures to treat spinal fractures caused by osteoporosis or trauma.

• Epilepsy Surgery:
  For patients with epilepsy that is not controlled by medication, surgery may be performed to remove the area of the brain causing the seizures or to implant a device to control the seizures.

• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS):
  A surgical procedure that implants a device in the brain to treat movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. DBS can help control tremors and improve motor function.

• Endovascular Neurosurgery:
  Minimally invasive procedures to treat conditions such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), or other vascular brain conditions. This technique involves inserting a catheter through blood vessels to treat the problem without large incisions.

• Carotid Endarterectomy:
  Surgery to remove plaque buildup from the carotid arteries in the neck to prevent stroke caused by reduced blood flow to the brain.

• Pituitary Tumor Surgery:
  Minimally invasive surgery through the nose (transsphenoidal surgery) to remove pituitary tumors that affect hormone levels or cause other neurological symptoms.

• Hydrocephalus Surgery:
  In cases of excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, a shunt may be placed to divert fluid and relieve pressure.

• Spinal Cord Injury Surgery:
  Surgical intervention to stabilize the spine and treat damage to the spinal cord caused by trauma or degenerative conditions.
