Brain tumors—benign and malignant
Certain cells in the brain can be the cause of brain tumors. There are both benign and malignant types of brain tumors. Brain tumors can cause many different symptoms in the brain. Imaging studies help detect these, and help determine which treatments are best. |

Craniotomies and craniectomies
These procedures are performed by neurosurgeons to treat surgical problems including hemorrhagic strokes, trauma, brain tumors, and a multitude of neurological disorders. Utilizing the operating microscope during these delicate procedures allows safe, precise, and less invasive approaches to complex and life-threatening neurosurgical disorders.
Frame-based and frameless stereotactic neurosurgery
These procedures involve utilizing sophisticated computer software, pre-operative imaging to allow a very precise and minimally invasive approach to intracranial pathology. Utilizing state-of-the-art stereotactic techniques, very precise and safe approaches are performed in delicate areas within the brain, minimizing risks and improving patient outcomes.
Gamma knife radiosurgery
The neurosurgeons at Lancaster NeuroScience & Spine Associates frequently use the gamma knife for treatment of brain tumors and vascular malformations. Through pre-operative planning with the gamma knife radiosurgical team, high doses of radiation are delivered to lesions in a single treatment session. Through sophisticated treatment plans, maximal doses of radiation are delivered to lesions within the brain, minimizing injury to normal structures. |
