Functional neurosurgery is a broad term that describes the procedures used to improve or restore function to a patient with neurologic conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, spinal cord injury, trigeminal neuralgia, brain trauma, and many more.
The BSSNY Functional Neurosurgery team treats these chronic disorders with a variety of techniques, including highly focused neuromodulation and deep brain stimulation. Functional neurosurgery represents one of the fastest-growing specializations in the field of neurosurgery, providing great hope for patients with previously untreatable neurological conditions – and BSSNY is at the forefront of the field.
