Dedicated neurosurgical suites and a full continuum of neurosurgical care for the treatment of brain
tumors, vascular malformations, aneurysms, peripheral nerve disorders, back and neck problems, and more are provided by our team of private and academic neurosurgeons. Expertise in conventional and minimally invasive approaches (spinal and cranial) offers patients the full spectrum of neurosurgical intervention while minimizing risk and discomfort, and lessening recovery times.

Endoscopic skull base surgery embodies this approach, and allows for scarless brain surgery. St. Luke's utilizes diagnostic capabilities that include MRI and CT technology, biplane angiography systems, and the Stealth Station System, which uses imaging data from CT or MRI scanning devices to build a 3D model of a patient’s head or spine, thereby increasing the surgeon’s precision and the patient’s safety. St. Luke’s offers coil embolization and microsurgical clipping, stenting and endarterectomy for extracranial vascular disease, stenting and extracranial-intracranial bypass for intracranial stenosis.
 
Functional neurosurgery in the form of deep brain stimulation gives hope to patients with Parkinson’s disease.

In September 2009, stereotactic radiosurgery(SRS) became available with the Accuray Cyberknife® Robotic Radiosurgery System (Cyberknife®), the first in Houston used in a clinical setting for treatment of intracranial and spinal tumors. This offering provides new hope to patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors and is a viable, non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of tumors throughout the body, intracranial arteriovenous malformations, and certain pain syndromes like trigeminal neuralgia.
