As part of the Southeast’s premiere academic health system, UF neurosurgeons in Jacksonville offer patients access to the latest treatment options, employing state-of-the-art technologies, including:
- Intraoperative imaging – Allows surgeons to monitor surgical progress in real-time during tumor removal, aneurysm surgery and other complex procedures
- Neuronavigation – Allows surgeons the ability to view 3-D renderings of the brain and spinal cord and track surgical instruments during surgery
- Minimally invasive spine surgery
- Minimally invasive cranial base surgery – Advanced endoscopic surgery through the nasal sinuses which allows surgeons to access pituitary and other benign and malignant brain tumors near the skull base
