Brain Surgery

Complex brain surgeries, faster recoveries

We know that having surgery can be scary, especially complex surgery on your brain. That’s why Bronson has a team of experts who specialize in advanced brain surgery procedures. They use leading techniques designed to support faster healing with less pain, fewer scars, and less bleeding.

“Bronson was the best choice for my brain surgery.”

When Mark Barnum learned he had a brain tumor, he and his wife researched their options to find the best possible care. He was relieved to find it at Bronson. Learn more about brain surgery at Bronson by reading Mark Barnum’s brain surgery story or watching his video below.

Treatments for brain injuries and conditions

If your condition requires brain surgery, these are some of the procedures we perform at Bronson:

• Cranial surgery – To access the brain, part of the skull, called a bone flap, is removed. The bone flap is replaced after surgery with plates and screws.
• Skull base surgery – Some tumors sit underneath the brain and can be difficult to reach during surgery.
• Endoscopic surgery – A minimally invasive technique using a lighted scope and camera.
• Minimally invasive brain surgery – Uses smaller incisions to support faster healing with less pain and scarring.
• Neuroendovascular surgery services – Advanced techniques to remove clots and repair aneurysms with minimally invasive methods.
• Pediatric neurosurgery services – Surgical care for infants, children, and teens.
• Stereotactic neurosurgery – Guided by 3D imaging from CT or MRI scans.
• Transsphenoidal surgery – Brain surgery performed through the nostril.

Brain conditions we treat using surgery

Our doctors treat many conditions that may require complex brain surgery. They are specially trained in minimally invasive procedures, which may help support faster recovery.

• Aneurysm and brain hemorrhage (bleeding)
• Arteriovenous malformation (AVM)
• Blood clots in the brain (hematomas)
• Brain infections
• Brain pressure or swelling after injury or stroke
• Brain trauma
• Brain tumors
• Chiari malformations
• Cranial nerve problems (acoustic neuroma, trigeminal neuralgia)
• Craniosynostosis
• Epilepsy
• Hydrocephalus
• Skull fractures
