Neurosurgical treatment
The expert neurosurgeons on staff at Medical City Frisco use leading-edge technology to perform advanced brain surgeries, including:
Brain tumor neurosurgery
Neurosurgeons at our facility treat brain tumors and other lesions in the skull base that were once thought to be inoperable. We help patients with malignant, metastatic and benign tumors of the brain and pituitary gland.
Cerebrovascular neurosurgery
The neurosurgeons at our facility treat disorders of the blood vessels in the head and neck, including aneurysms, vascular tumors, malformations, occlusions and ischemia. Surgeries performed at our hospital include aneurysm clipping, a procedure in which a clip is placed on the outside of the aneurysm to physically disconnect it from the artery.
Endovascular neurosurgery
This microsurgery, performed with miniaturized instruments and a microscope, is used for stroke, aneurysms, tumors and arteriovenous malformations and fistulas that are not treatable with conventional surgery. Procedures we offer include:
- Aneurysm coiling — in which thin metal spring-like coils are placed inside the aneurysm to prevent it from rupturing
- Clot retrieval — in which a high-tech device physically extracts the blood clot
Stereotactic neurosurgery
This minimally invasive microsurgery is primarily used for brain biopsies and tumor removals. Physicians use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans to identify the tumor's precise location and remove the tissue through a nickel-sized hole. By avoiding an invasive craniotomy, doctors remove only the tissue they need and minimize the chances of subsequent neurological issues.
