Excited to share-the dynamic potential of cortical #plasticity in >100 patients w #lowgradegliomas after repeat #awakesurgery. We are using these approaches from Duffau @utmbneurosurg so #braintumor patients can live longer & better lives #Houston #Texas academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…

Dr. Rishi Lall performed the first robotic-assisted spine surgery ⁦@UTMBNeurosurg⁩. This technology will offer our patients the opportunity to undergo more complex procedures using minimally invasive techniques with less blood loss and quicker recovery ⁦@UTMBProvost⁩

Two of our UTMB Neurosurgery faculty, Dr. Karas and Dr. Young, with our new Neurosurgery interns at the SNS Intern Bootcamp at Baylor. An excellent opportunity to advance early neurosurgical education and foster clinical readiness from day one.
