Cranial Neurosurgery
Cranial neurosurgery encompasses surgical procedures involving the brain, skull, and related structures.
Dr Joseph Garcia Redmond provides expert treatment for a wide range of cranial conditions including brain tumours, pituitary and skull base tumours, traumatic brain injuries, hydrocephalus and CSF disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, and other conditions affecting the brain and cranial nerves. His fellowship training in skull base surgery at Toronto Western Hospital in Canada, combined with specialized Gamma Knife radiosurgery training at the Cleveland Clinic, enables him to offer both traditional microsurgical techniques and advanced minimally invasive approaches tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Modern cranial neurosurgery utilises state-of-the-art technology to achieve optimal outcomes while minimising risks. Dr Garcia Redmond employs advanced techniques including neuronavigation (computer-guided surgery), intraoperative monitoring to protect critical brain functions, high-powered surgical microscopes for delicate procedures, endoscopic approaches for minimally invasive access, and awake craniotomy with functional mapping when operating near areas controlling speech or movement.
These technologies, combined with comprehensive pre-operative planning using advanced MRI and CT imaging, allow for precise, safe surgical intervention. For select conditions, Gamma Knife radiosurgery provides a non-invasive alternative, delivering highly focused radiation without incisions or anesthesia.
