Neurosurgery

Lankenau Medical Center provides state-of-the-art neurosurgery services to evaluate and treat disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spine and peripheral nerves. Our neurosurgeons have vast experience treating benign and malignant tumors of the brain and spine, including primary gliomas (tumors that originate in the supportive cells of the brain), metastatic tumors (cancer that has spread to the brain from another part of the body), skull base tumors and meningiomas (the most common primary brain tumors). They also utilize the latest approaches to treat degenerative spinal disease.

Our neurosurgeons treat conditions caused by traumatic head injury, such as intracranial hemorrhages (bleeding in the skull) and subdural hematomas (blood that has collected on the surface of the brain), as well as hydrocephalus (a buildup of fluid inside the skull that leads to swelling of the brain) and other disorders.

Lankenau offers a range of techniques, including traditional surgery, minimally-invasive surgery and non-invasive procedures. We are the only institution in the tri-state area to offer radiosurgery using the advanced TrueBeam™ STx linear accelerator. Our neurosurgeons work as a team with other physicians and clinicians—such as radiologists, neurologists, oncologists and rehabilitation therapists—to quickly and accurately evaluate each patient's condition and provide safe and effective treatments to return patients to their everyday lives.
