When you have a neurological disorder that calls for deeper treatment than conventional, conservative options, we’re likely to bring a neurosurgeon onto your team—even if surgery isn’t necessarily your best option.
Your neurosurgeon and neurologist, both highly trained and committed to compassionate care, will talk continually throughout your treatment, with each other and with other members of your medical team. Central Maine’s neurosurgeons are experienced in treating such disorders as brain aneurysms, Parkinson’s and other movement disorders, spine disorders such as herniated disks, and emergencies such as aneurysms and strokes.
Back and Neck Surgery
If you’re living with chronic pain in your back or neck, and you’ve tried medication and physical therapy, a Central Maine neurosurgeon can help you find relief. Our experienced neurosurgeons treat such painful conditions as spinal stenosis and herniated disks, always using the most updated, advanced techniques available, both in Neurology and through Central Maine Orthopedics. To learn more, check our Back and Neck Pain Disorders page.
Brain and Spine Cancer Surgery
Delicate surgeries on the brain and spinal cord can be difficult, but our neurosurgeons, collaborating with their colleagues on your team, perform advanced procedures on the most complex and hard-to-reach tumors. We can even perform certain brain surgeries while the patient is awake, and our sophisticated radiosurgery technology helps the surgeon pinpoint the tumor without damaging healthy tissue surrounding it. We now provide the most high-tech cranial surgeries. To learn more, go to our Brain and Spine Cancer.
Movement Disorders and Epilepsy
Thanks to groundbreaking procedures like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), our neurosurgeons are finding bold new remedies for such disorders as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, dystonia and more. By placing electrodes in the brain that are regulated by a device implanted under your collarbone, surgeons can help control tremors, paralysis and other movement disorder symptoms if you can no longer find relief with medication. To learn more, read about Movement Disorders and Epilepsy pages.
Neurovascular Surgery
Our surgeons have long experience in stroke treatment, routinely performing such procedures as clipping and coiling aneurysms, and inserting stents in blocked blood vessels. They are a key part of Central Maine’s trauma services, especially in treating strokes, when doctors must act fast to save the patient’s life. To learn more, go to our Stroke page.
All of our surgeons work in both private practice and inpatient care, making them even more accessible for consultations and exams. Our patients don’t have to travel to Portland or cities for top surgical care; we perform almost all of the same neurosurgeries provided at much larger centers.
