About Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery treats problems and diseases related to the brain, spinal cord and nerves. There are many types of neurosurgery. At Providence, we provide every type of neurosurgical service. This includes minimally invasive surgery, which causes less trauma to the body and leads to a quicker recovery.
Some types of neurosurgery are planned well in advance. Others, such as surgery for a traumatic brain injury, are emergency procedures. No matter what kind of neurosurgery you need, you’re in the best hands with Providence.

Minimally invasive surgery
At Providence, we commonly perform minimally invasive surgery for some spine and brain conditions, including some strokes and aneurysms. Minimally invasive procedures require small or no incisions. Instead, specialists use imaging technology, catheters, wires and other tools to treat patients. Minimally invasive procedures cause less harm to body tissue. For many patients, this means less time in the hospital and improved outcomes.
Open surgery
Even some conventional open surgery has become less invasive. New medical technology allows our surgeons to make smaller cuts when they perform certain procedures. This can lead to a better overall recovery for our patients.
