Coordinated specialty care
We work closely with primary care physicians and other specialists, both before and after surgery. Multidisciplinary groups and highly trained specialist provide coordinated care in:
Skull-base surgery — For patients with tumors in the difficult-to-reach areas of the brain, the department offers an advanced program in skull-base surgery, headed by a world-renowned expert who has pioneered new techniques and invented new instruments for this subspecialty. Tumors that were previously untreatable can be reached with some of these new techniques.
Stroke Center — WVU’s stroke Center has an emergency response team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, vascular surgeons, emergency medicine physicians, and radiologists available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to offer advance care for stroke. New treatments can sometimes stop strokes while they are happening, or drastically reduce the amount of damage a stroke causes.
Epilepsy Center — WVU’s epilepsy Center provides comprehensive care for patients with seizure disorders, and is providing new hope to those who have not been helped by medications. Our team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, radiologists, neuropsychologists, and other epilepsy experts diagnose and evaluate patients as possible candidates for surgery, often and effective option when medication fails.
Pediatric Neurosurgery — The department offers advanced, specialized neurosurgical care for children and adolescents. Common problems treated by pediatric neurosurgeons include hydrocephalus, pediatric brain tumors, cerebral palsy, and other. Pediatric neurosurgeons work closely with primary care physicians and other specialist to provide the highest level of coordinated are to children and their families.
Neuro-oncology — An interdisciplinary neuro-oncology group provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients with cancers involving the central nervous system.
