Treating patients with tumors and lesions in delicate areas of the brain and spine has traditionally presented risks and challenges.
However, Legacy neurosurgeons have advanced technology to expand the ability to treat previously inoperable lesions and tumors. Patients can have surgery with much less risk of disturbing important pathways of the brain and spinal cord.
Legacy is the only system in the Portland-Vancouver area that uses the Synaptive BrightMatter and BrainPath technologies on neurosurgery patients. These technologies give surgeons the ability to see details not often visible using other technologies. We also perform surgeries through smaller incisions than conventional surgery.
The technology is used to operate on:
- Brain tumors
- Aneurysms
- Vascular lesions
- Issues of the skull
- Spine surgery
Potential benefits:
- Faster recovery from surgery.
- Reduced complications.
