Spinal injuries
Injury to the spinal cord or to the nerves can be quite devastating. Neurosurgeons specialize in the care of this type of injury. There are, unfortunately, few treatments to help the nerves or spinal cord regenerate. However, much research is being done in this area. |

Laminectomies and spinal fusions
Spinal operations are performed to decompress neural structures to relieve pain and provide the opportunity for neurological recovery. At times, fusions are performed to stabilize spinal segments and improve neurologic function. These procedures can be peformed microscopically, endoscopically, or through standard, open approaches. |
