Our neurosurgeons
Many of Australia’s neurosurgeons practice at a St Vincent’s Private Hospital.
Our neurosurgeons are amongst Australia’s leading and most respected practitioners, who have all undergone a rigorous process of assessment prior to gaining admitting privileges to our hospitals.
We have neurosurgeons with interests and expertise in all aspects of neurosurgery.
Spinal disorders
We perform a wide range of procedures to relieve back pain and remove spinal tumours.
Brain tumours
Depending on the location of the tumour, we may work in conjunction with head and neck specialists or ear, nose and throat specialists to accurately locate and excise the tumour.
Aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and stroke
These problems affect the brain’s vascular (veins and arteries) system. The site may be accessed through the veins or by open surgery.
Movement disorder surgeries
Parkinson’s Disease and dystonia are 2 types of chronic movement disorder. Using 3D imaging called ‘stereotaxy’ we can pinpoint the part of the brain causing the problem. We can then insert a device that provides ‘deep brain stimulation’ which can relieve the symptoms.
