Unlike other forms of veterinary surgery where surgery alone may successfully resolve orthopedic, skeletal or soft-tissue injuries; neurosurgery often requires complicated surgical procedures, expert understanding of the complex systems that underlie neurologic conditions and experience with how to best provide care to a recovering patient. Our training, dedication and expertise allow us to perform these life-saving and complex neurosurgeries almost every day.
Providing spinal and brain surgery for surgically-appropriate neurologic cases.
Spinal Cord:
- Intervertebral Disc Surgery (Ventral slot, hemilaminectomy, dorsal laminectomy)
- Stabilizations (fracture, atlantoaxial subluxation)
- Wobbler Syndrome surgery (distraction/ fusion, dorsal laminectomy, ventral slot)
- Tumor removal and biopsy
- Diskospondylitis (laminectomy, culture and biopsy)
Brain:
- Foramen magnum decompression
- Ventricular shunt placement
- Craniotomy for tumor removal or biopsy
- Nerve and Muscle
- Biopsy
This complexity requires the advanced training, advanced diagnostics and expertise of a Veterinary Neurologist. Learn more about our team here.
