Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery

A Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery fellowship is an advanced training program designed for neurosurgeons who want to specialize in minimally invasive procedures that target specific areas of the brain. Stereotactic neurosurgery uses precise, 3D imaging techniques to guide surgical instruments to exact locations within the brain, allowing for highly accurate interventions with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Functional neurosurgery focuses on treating neurological conditions that affect movement, sensation, and function, such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, chronic pain, and movement disorders.

During the fellowship, neurosurgeons receive in-depth training in a variety of techniques, including deep brain stimulation (DBS), epilepsy surgery, lesioning, and the use of advanced technologies like gamma knives and radiosurgery. These methods are often used for patients with conditions that do not respond to conventional medical treatments. Fellows also gain experience in non-invasive procedures aimed at improving patients’ quality of life.

The fellowship equips surgeons with the skills to perform surgeries that target abnormal brain functions, offering treatments that can reduce or eliminate symptoms like tremors, seizures, and chronic pain. Graduates of this fellowship are well-prepared to offer cutting-edge care for patients with complex neurological conditions.
