Neurosurgery
Treating brain and spine-related injuries and diseases demands the highest level of patient care.
From diagnosing a disorder to helping a patient recover post-surgery, Cheyenne Regional Medical Center (CRMC)’s neurosurgery team is dedicated to improving the quality of life for each patient.
Our skilled neurosurgeons treat many conditions, including:
- Aneurysms (when an artery or vein bulges because of weakening of a vessel wall)
- Cerebral vascular disease (a condition that affects the blood vessels in the brain)
- Traumatic brain injury (any trauma to the brain or spinal system)
- Minimally invasive spine surgery, where doctors use specialized instrumentation to access the spine through small incisions
Technology
Cheyenne Regional’s surgeons and specialists use the latest technology to perform intricate procedures that get patients out the door and back to their daily routines.
In 2003, Cheyenne Regional Medical Center was the first medical center in the United States to use the Stealth Treon system to remove a brain tumor. The system provides a surgeon with an exact, three-dimensional view of the surgical area, allowing for a less-invasive procedure and decreasing the risk of brain and nerve damage during the operation.
For diagnosis, our equipment includes:
- Ultrasound 3-D and 4-D imagery that scan the brain and aid in the process of diagnosis
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ultra-fast CT Scanners that help physicians detect and diagnose neurological conditions
