Norton Neuroscience Institute is a regional leader in the field of neurosurgery. Our providers use leading-edge, minimally invasive procedures to treat the most complex neurologic conditions to improve patients’ lives. Our multidisciplinary approach brings together a team of professionals to provide disease-specific, patient-centered care.
Our board-certified and fellowship-trained surgeons have experience from nationally recognized training centers. Our neurosurgeons work collaboratively with neurologists, neuropsychologists, therapists and other specialists to support our neurology centers. Whether patients are experiencing seizures, headache, Parkinson’s disease, stroke or memory loss, the neurosurgery team provides a surgical perspective to provide a customized care plan — just for you.
Cranial neurosurgery is used to:
In collaboration with our neuropsychologists, we perform functional MRI scans and “awake” surgeries when appropriate to ensure that we are protecting essential brain tissue.
Functional and restorative neurosurgery focuses on techniques to assist patients with symptom control across a range of conditions, including epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and face, neck, back or nerve pain. Face pain patients may be offered microvascular decompression, minimally invasive nerve ablation or incision-free radiosurgery.
Neuromodulation via implantation of brain stimulators is a major part of functional and restorative neurosurgery for epilepsy and movement disorders. Spinal cord and nerve stimulation are used to reduce pain caused by failed back surgery and even diabetic neuropathy.
In addition to providing lifesaving care for patients with acute stroke and hemorrhage, our endovascular and cerebrovascular neurosurgery team works to reduce the risk of stroke or brain bleed in the first place. Our neurosurgeons are trained in both open and minimally invasive techniques to repair carotid and vertebral stenosis, cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations using state-of-the-art options, including radial artery approach, transcarotid artery revascularization and radiation therapy.
It’s part of Norton Neuroscience Institute’s goal to care for the whole person, not just the condition.
More patients from Louisville and Southern Indiana seek their neurology and neurosurgery care from Norton Neuroscience Institute’s nationally recognized specialists than any other providers in the area.
