Neurosurgery

At Nemours, neurosurgeons diagnose and treat infants, children, and adolescents who require surgery of the central and peripheral nervous system. Frequent diagnoses include hydrocephalus, craniosynostosis, brain and spinal tumors, intracranial cysts, traumatic brain and spine injuries, spasticity, peripheral nerve injuries, Chiari malformations, myelomeningocele, syringomyelia, and tethered spinal cord.

The neurosurgeons work with physicians from other specialties to provide comprehensive, integrated care for children with multiple disabilities. Nemours neurosurgeons are usually trained in multiple specialties—pediatrics and neurosurgery, for example.

Nemours neurosurgeons use an integrated medical record that unifies patient care across specialties and locations, prompting physicians to consider best practices gained from Nemours experience and academic literature. We provide excellent care that places the patient and family at the center, and our commitment to communication is central to the process. We strive to create a uniquely satisfying experience bringing peace of mind to patients and families.
