Neurosurgery in Round Rock, TX

Neurosurgical Treatments & Procedures

Neurological care is more than administering medicines and therapies. For treating patients with critical conditions, often a combined approach of pharmacological, surgical procedures, and physiotherapy is followed. Our neurosurgeons in Round Rock incorporate a well-planned treatment, comprising:

  • Pain Management Procedures: These involve over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc., to alleviate neural pain (mild to moderate). Sometimes, anti-seizure medicines, pain signal blockers, antidepressants, and topical treatments are also administered.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgeries: These surgeries are generally performed on the brain and spine by making small incisions using advanced instruments and imaging procedures. Minimally invasive surgeries help reduce trauma to the surrounding tissues by blocking pain signals from specific nerves. 
  • Conventional Procedures and more: Traditional neurosurgery techniques involve craniotomy for the excision or access of brain tumors, spinal fusion to reinforce the spine, and lumbar puncture for diagnosing and treating neurological issues. Additional procedures available are deep brain stimulation for movement disorders and microvascular decompression for cranial nerve compression conditions.

Below is a simplified explanation of each procedure:

    • Craniotomy

This process entails cutting into the scalp and skull to reach the brain, commonly performed for brain tumor excision or additional surgical procedures.

    • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

It implants electrodes in the brain to activate certain regions and reduce symptoms of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. 

    • Surgery via Endoscopic Endonasal Approach

A slender, bendable tube equipped with a camera and a light source is utilized to reach the brain via the nose, which helps access hard-to-reach regions. 

    • Spinal Fusion

Connects vertebrae to reinforce the spine, commonly utilized for spinal instability or fractures. 

    • Discectomy

Eliminates a portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve root, a typical remedy for back discomfort. 

    • Laminectomy

Removes a section of the lamina (posterior part of a vertebra) to ease pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
