Neurosurgery

Neurosurgeons care for patients with conditions in the nervous system, including the brain and spine. Crozer-Keystone’s experienced neurosurgeons use the latest clinical guidelines to diagnose and treat patients these conditions. When necessary, the physicians also work closely with other specialists to provide the best possible patient care.  

Our surgeons use the latest, minimally invasive surgical technologies – including neuronavigation – as well as minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as cervical spine fusion and kyphoplasty.  

Among the injuries and conditions our neurosurgeons treat include:

• Aneurysms
• Brain tumors
• Cervical spine disease
• Head trauma
• Peripheral nerve injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar nerve entrapment
• Spinal disc disease or arthritis
• Stroke

Our surgeons - Michael Stanley, M.D., F.A.A.N.S., Richard Buonocore, M.D. and Aubrey Okpaku, M.D. - care for trauma patients as part of the Crozer Regional Trauma Center and work with radiation oncologists to treat patients at Philadelphia CyberKnife.
