One of the most rewarding parts of my job is when we remove a brain tumor, wake the patient up, nudge them and ask how they’re feeling. A lot of times we get a smile or thumbs up. Always really cool. You don’t have have to go to elite hospitals to find good surgeons. Ask around. Ask people who work in surgery. If you want a good one in Jackson metro I’ll be happy to give ya some info.
Wait, are you a Neurosurgeon in the Jackson area?

Way way too much of this going around now. Prayers to your family.

And why do you say this?

You clearly dont know anything about neurosurgery. He might not need to have an invasive craniotomy. There are other ways to treat tumors. Shreveport is not what I would call "cutting edge" when it comes to neuroscience.

Great advise (not).....what happens if the endo embolizes the tumor....it dies and then you have resect it. Embolization is usually done only to stop abnormally large amounts of blood loss during a resection. In regards to your comment on catheters...I can only assume you are talking about Visulase which usually works with small lesions. And having experience with Dallas and Shreveport there are quality Skull base neurosurgeons at both facilities that I would not quibble going to either due to a surgeon.

Damn. Sorry to hear that OP. Sending prayers your way!

Son, unless you are a no shite neurosurgeon there is no way in God’s green earth that you know more about neurosurgery than me.
Want to try me on any aspect? Want to talk endo, Neuro critical care, hydrocephalus, you name it and let’s play.
In regards to “cutting edge”, please tell me the pros and cons of Guthikonda or Sun when it comes to technique of schooling. One has 3 fellowships to include a Skull Base from BNI and the other has a skull base fellowship from the Mayfield clinic....that speaks volumes!

Bro, go back to pushing your pharmaceuticals. Your lunch is getting cold.

Anyone have any experience with such. TIA
Another friend of my wife and mine had a malignant one. That lasted about 14 months and didn't end so well.

Pharma?.....Come on let’s play Huckleberry....you think you know anything about neurosurgery (obviously not the case when you do not know what embolization is used for)....tell me what a pipeline is? Tell me which is more dangerous a ventricular or lumbar drain? Tell me the differences between a meningioma, chordoma and glio. How about the different ways to close the dura? Would you recommend a Stealth biopsy or frame for a lesion? Walk me through the process/timeline for mapping seizures?How about naming all the CPT codes for resections to include spinal?....I will stand by and wait. Otherwise shut up and admit you are talking out your arse.

Dude is one of those guys who time and technology has passed by.

My mother started having double vision one day. We found out she had a tumor in a very inoperable location. The only option was to treat with radiation using the gamma knife. The good news was, because of the location of the tumor, they feel certain it is a meningioma. These are almost always benign. We decided to fly to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for the treatment. Everything is going fine and miraculously, her only symptom, the double vision, went away on its own.
New method now is Cyberknife which is gamma, but with he technology to track movements. Gamma can only be used in still tumors. Sonif one had a tumor of the lungs, it couldn't be zapped with gamma because the chest cavity moves with breathing. Cyberknife takes care of those issues thru technology.
