"Bronson was the best choice for my brain surgery."

When Mark Barnum found out that he had a brain tumor, he and his wife did a lot of research to find the best possible care. He was relieved to find it at Bronson. Learn more about brain surgery at Bronson, read his story or watch Mark’s story now.

Treatments for brain injuries and conditions

If your condition requires brain surgery, below are the types of surgeries we perform at Bronson:

Cranial surgery – In order to access the brain, a part of the skull (called a bone flap) is removed. The bone flap is replaced after the surgery with plates and screws.
Skull base surgery – Some tumors sit underneath the brain, it can be difficult during surgery to get to the tumor in order to remove it. In skull base surgery, the tumor is reached from underneath or from the side by removing parts of the skull.
Endoscopic surgery – A technique using a tube with a lens/light to look into a body cavity through a small opening. An endoscope is like a small camera that looks at the problem. The endoscope has a light source and is connected to a monitor. The surgery is performed while looking at the screen and actual target size is magnified more than 100 times.
Minimally invasive brain surgery – A type of surgery that helps you to heal faster and with less pain, scarring and blood loss because your surgeon uses smaller incisions than other surgical techniques. This approach can reduce the amount of blood you may lose and cause less harm to your surrounding muscles and tissues.
Neuroendovascular surgery – Advanced techniques to remove clots and repair aneurysms in ways that allow you to recover more quickly than traditional brain surgery. You’ll also have less pain and trauma to your body.
Pediatric neurosurgery – Surgery for infants, children and teens to help treat conditions impacting the brain and skull.
Stereotactic neurosurgery – Surgery on your brain where the surgeon is guided by three-dimensional images from CT or MRI scans.
Transsphenoidal surgery – Surgery on your brain performed through the nostril (nose).
