Craniotomy: A surgical procedure to remove a portion of the skull (craniectomy) in order to access the brain for various treatments such as tumor removal, aneurysm clipping, or epilepsy surgery.

Brain Tumor Resection: Surgical removal of brain tumors to alleviate symptoms, reduce tumor size, and potentially cure the underlying condition.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Implantation of electrodes into specific areas of the brain to alleviate symptoms of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery: A non-invasive procedure that delivers precisely targeted radiation beams to treat brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and other neurological conditions.

Shunt Placement: Insertion of a cerebral shunt to treat hydrocephalus by diverting excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to another part of the body, such as the abdomen.

Decompressive Craniectomy: Surgical removal of a portion of the skull to relieve intracranial pressure caused by traumatic brain injury, stroke, or other neurological emergencies.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS): Implantation of a device that delivers electrical impulses to the vagus nerve to treat epilepsy and other neurological disorders.

Cerebral Angioplasty and Stenting: Surgical procedures to widen narrowed or blocked blood vessels in the brain (cerebral arteries) to improve blood flow and prevent stroke.

Epilepsy Surgery: Various surgical procedures, including temporal lobectomy, corpus callosotomy, and hemispherectomy, performed to treat drug-resistant epilepsy by removing or disconnecting the epileptic focus in the brain.

Spinal Fusion Surgery: Surgical procedure to join two or more vertebrae in the spine to stabilize the spine, alleviate pain, and prevent further damage in conditions such as spinal fractures, scoliosis, or degenerative disc disease.
