The pediatric neurosurgery team has extensive experience caring for children who have serious conditions of the nervous system for which surgery is the best treatment option. This team has access to the most advanced technologies and techniques, including minimally invasive surgery with endoscopy, fetal surgery, intraoperative MRI and a type of laser that uses heat to kill tumors (laser interstitial thermal therapy). Sometimes, the best treatment option is not surgical, and the team members will explain why and make the best recommendation for alternative therapy.
