What Is Vascular Neurosurgery?

Ravi H. Gandhi, M.D., board-certified neurosurgeon at Orlando Neurosurgery explains, “Vascular neurosurgery is a field of neurosurgery that refers to the blood vessels of the brain and spine.”

Vascular neurosurgeons are the high-tech specialists of the surgical profession. These healthcare experts use top of the line tools to treat damaged or malformed blood vessels that can cause mild to severe disruption of the central nervous system and brain.

The vascular neurosurgeon specializes in surgeries at the micro-level, treating and repairing malformed or injured blood vessels deep within the vital structures of the brain and spine. These neurosurgeons are highly specialized clinicians that work to keep the central nervous system functioning properly by treating the blood vessels that supply the spinal cord and brain with a rich oxygenated blood supply.
