Dr. Meagher prioritizes open communication with patients; by talking openly with patients about their concerns and hopes for their future, he is able to alleviate a lot of their fear about surgery. Establishing trust is a central aspect of his practice, and he recognizes the importance of vulnerability in building that trust. His patient-centered and empathetic approach sets him apart in the field of neurosurgery.

In neuroscience, "split-brain operations" refer to a type of surgery called corpus callosotomy. This procedure involves severing the corpus callosum, the thick bundle of nerve fibers that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. It's primarily performed to control severe epilepsy when other treatments have failed. The operation aims to prevent the spread of epileptic seizures from one hemisphere to the other. After the surgery, the two hemispheres of the brain cannot communicate directly, which can lead to some unique cognitive and perceptual effects. For example, patients might have difficulty with tasks that require coordination between the two sides of the body, or they might show different responses depending on which hemisphere is processing information. Despite these challenges, many patients experience significant reductions in seizure frequency and severity, which can greatly improve their quality of life. #designthinking #designthinker #snsinstitution

Intraoperative neuromonitoring is crucial because it continuously tracks neural function during spine, head, neck, and brain surgery, helping to prevent neurological damage. By providing real-time feedback on the integrity of critical nerves and brain areas, it enhances surgical precision and safety. This monitoring allows surgeons to make immediate adjustments, minimizing the risk of complications and improving patient outcomes. Ultimately, it plays a key role in preserving neurological health and ensuring a successful recovery.

"We found superior results in terms of length of surgery, blood loss, outcomes, and length of stay...my sense is that the exoscope is providing better lighting, good 3D imagery, ease of use of the equipment, and is a very useful training tool." Dr. Sunil Patel, Chair of Neurosurgery at the Medical University of South Carolina highlights the results of a recent publication on the use of Synaptive's exoscope in spine surgery.

Neurological rehabilitation is vital for individuals with neurological disorders and those recovering from a brain injury, stroke, or surgery. It plays a crucial role in helping them become more independent and regain skills needed for everyday activities. Learn about the different components of neuro-rehab and the importance of a comprehensive and personalized approach, with insights from Kliniken Schmieder, pioneers in Neurological Rehabilitation since 1950. https://lnkd.in/d726HyeE #neurorehab #neurorehabilitation #rehabilitation #stroke #braininjury

There are two major types of strokes: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Thana Theofanis, MD, endovascular neurosurgeon at Main Line Health-Jefferson Neurosurgery and Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurological Surgery — Vickie and Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience Jefferson Health, walks us through an ischemic stroke, the more common type of stroke.

What conditions can be treated with minimally invasive surgery? In this video, Dr Mansour discusses the approach to treating various neurological pathologies, emphasizing the preference for minimally invasive methods whenever possible. He mentions the use of functional neurosurgery to address conditions like Parkinson's tremor by inserting a catheter, improving quality of life. Seizures are also treated, with options ranging from closely monitoring them to identifying their source and employing minimally invasive or traditional surgical techniques for treatment. #rnzclinics #minimallyinvasiveprocedures
