Trauma or illness involving the brain, spinal cord or nervous system can be a frightening experience for a patient and loved ones. Take comfort in knowing you are in the hands of some of the region's most skilled neurological experts, neurosurgeons and stroke specialists.

Neurosurgery

The Aultman Neurosurgery program has been modeled after programs developed by the most prestigious medical institutions in the country. The qualifications for surgeons, our advanced diagnostic equipment, our state-of-the-art neurosurgery suites and our comprehensive rehabilitation services make Aultman the preferred hospital for neurosurgical care.

Our team of experienced surgeons and medical professionals are dedicated to delivering compassionate, advanced medical care in a comforting, caring environment. Board-certified surgeons offer exceptional treatment and diagnosis of general neurosurgery conditions involving the brain, spine and carotid artery disease. Aultman Neurosurgery provides outpatient services and consultations from their offices located at 2600 Tuscarawas St. W., Suite 520 in Canton.

Equipped for Precision and Accuracy
Accurate diagnosis is the first step in determining the need for neurosurgery. Our radiology department features the advanced equipment necessary for diagnosing neurological disorders. In fact, Aultman Neurosurgery has been the first to introduce many diagnostic procedures in this area, including intra-cranial doppler studies.

If surgery is required, we've armed our neurosurgeons with the latest equipment to handle some of the most complex neurological procedures. Aultman Neurosurgery is on the leading edge of treating brain, spine and nervous system conditions using advanced stereotactic imaging techniques to guide the procedure, employing ultrasound to remove tumors, monitoring nerve activity throughout the operation, and utilizing a one-of-a-kind imaging agent called Gleolan to better see cancerous tissue in a glioma tumor.

Gleolan is the only product approved by the FDA that highlights a glioma tumor and surrounding cancer tissue in a bright hue, making it easier for neurosurgeons to see the tumor tissue to be removed. This helps ensure more thorough removal of the tumor.

Gleolan is one of several treatment options we offer our patients. From radiation and chemotherapy to clinical trials, our neuro-oncology team has all the tools to help our patients battle complex spine and brain tumors.

Dedicated Caregivers for Every Step of Recovery
Whatever the nature of the surgery, Aultman Neurosurgery offers comfortable accommodations with a dedicated staff to ease your recovery. The Same-Day Surgery Unit, where most patients stay before surgery, provides a warm and comfortable environment where you and your family can relax prior to surgery. If your surgery does not require an overnight stay, you will return to this unit for your recovery period before you are discharged.

Some types of surgery require a stay in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) or Neurosurgical Unit. These units have private rooms with advanced patient-monitoring technology. The nurses in these units have received special training. They are highly skilled in the care of neurosurgery patients and work closely with the neurosurgeons to monitor your recovery.
