BNA neurosurgeons offer various surgical treatments for spinal disorder including degenerative and traumatic injuries. Treatments include decompression, reconstruction and instrumentation. Anterior, posterior and endoscopic approaches are also used. Spinal arteriovenous malformations are treated using a team approach consisting of interventional radiologists, vascular neurosurgeons, and spine specialists.

Cerebrovascular/skull base procedures provide surgical treatment of vascular lesions (aneurysms, AVMs), carotid disease, and tumors that invade or involve the skull base (acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, epidermoids, etc).

Endovascular Surgery

Endovascular surgery is an innovative, less invasive procedure used to treat problems affecting the blood vessels, such as an aneurysm. An alternative to open surgery, endovascular surgery offers many advantages, including a shorter recovery period, less discomfort, local or regional anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, smaller incisions, less stress on the heart and fewer risks for patients with other medical conditions.

Comprehensive treatment of the epileptic patient includes surgical treatments for primary epilepsy or tumor-related epilepsy. Minimally invasive techniques are used.

Parkinson's Disease

BNA's surgical management of Parkinson's disease includes pallidotomies, thalamotomies, and stimulators.

Pituitary Tumors

BNA physicians evaluate and treat patients who are suffering from pituitary tumors.  We have more experience in treating pituitary disorders in our patients than any other medical center in the Southwest.

Hyperhidrosis

In some people, the nerves, involuntarily controlled by the Sympathetic Nervous System, can become overactive and cause extreme sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis. BNA physicians are able to eliminate hyperhidrosis through a surgical procedure called a thorascopic sympathectomy.
