Treatment Options Tailored to You

There are more treatments and technologies available to you today than ever before. And here at the AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute, we treat more neuroscience patients and perform more neurosurgical procedures than any other hospital in the nation, so you know you’re in experienced hands.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

Minimally invasive surgeries and high-tech diagnostic tools are among the many innovations we’re using to help improve your results and recovery. New innovations in minimally invasive brain surgery (MIBS) are making it easier for many patients to heal more quickly and comfortably.

Constant innovation means we can bring you exclusive techniques not found anywhere else in our region, such as Gamma Knife® technology. These minimally invasive techniques reduce the risks of surgery, require minimal or no incision and improve results.

Depending on the specifics of your condition, our specialists might talk to you about a number of minimally invasive procedure options, including:

• Brain Port Surgery
• Endoscopic Brain Surgery
• Endoscopic Endonasal Skull-Base Surgery
• Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression
• Gamma Knife®
• Neuroendovascular Surgery
• Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT)

Each of these procedures can help reduce pain, scarring and damage to surrounding tissue, all while promoting faster recovery.

Gamma Knife

AdventHealth is the only medical facility in Central Florida using this innovative, no-incision procedure. Gamma Knife® is the most accurate technology device and is considered the gold standard in the radiosurgical management of brain disease.

It targets and treats tumors with millimeter precision, minimizing damage to surrounding tissue and resulting in less scarring and pain, and faster recovery times. Patients normally resume their daily activities within 24 to 48 hours.

Our multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, physicists and radiation oncologists have performed more than 3,900 procedures since 1996, making us one of the most experienced Gamma Knife programs in the country.
