Cranial, Spine and Peripheral Nerve Surgery Center

Our multimodality approach initially focuses on conservative management of the patient. If surgery is necessary, our surgeons utilize state-of-the-art minimally invasive cranial and spinal surgical techniques. This includes procedures such as percutaneous kyphoplasty for vertebral compression fractures and percutaneous pedicle screws for fusions. Patients that previously underwent several hour surgeries and several day hospitalizations can now sometimes be treated as outpatients. These types of techniques are applied to all aspects of cranial, spinal and peripheral nerve disorders (including nerve compression such as carpal tunnel syndrome). Our neurosurgeons are experts in procedures involving complex instrumentation and deformity correction as well as endoscopic surgery. Boulder Neurosurgical Associates currently has several ongoing prospective randomized trials involving spinal surgery, including a multi-center FDA artificial disc replacement study.


Neurosurgery Operating Rooms

Innovative operating facilities at both Boulder Community Hospital and Longmont United Hospital use state-of-the-art technologies to assist Boulder Neurosurgical Associates neurosurgeons in complex neurological procedures. Our neurosurgeons utilize the newest generation of intraoperative guidance systems such as the Polestar N-10 Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system, the Siemans Isocentric 3-dimensional fluoroscopic navigation, and computer volumetric navigation based on preoperative images, including MRI, CT, and functional imaging studies.

  Rocky Mountain CyberKnife Center

The Rocky Mountain CyberKnife Center offers a revolutionary new treatment for destroying harmful tumors and vascular malformations that does not require surgery or anesthesia and lets the patient go home immediately afterwards. The CyberKnife is a computer-controlled radiosurgery system that delivers radiation to tumors in the brain, spine and elsewhere in the body with millimeter accuracy, while avoiding damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This pinpoint accuracy allows surgeons to reach cancerous and benign tumors and abnormal tangles of blood vessels in the brain (vascular malformations) that in the past would have been impossible to treat.


Neuroscience Care Center

Neurosurgical Intensive Care Units at both Boulder Community Hospital and Longmont United Hospitals provide comprehensive care for seriously ill neurological and neurosurgical patients. From the beginning, patient's experience a unique, closely coordinated program of care which involves a team of top specialists and the most advanced technology available for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of neurosurgical problems.
