Neurosurgery and Patient Care Approach
Neurosurgery deals with disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, spine, peripheral nerves, and related structures. Surgical treatment is considered only after the diagnosis, imaging findings, symptoms, general health, and available non-surgical options have been reviewed.
Dr. Ebersold’s academic work reflects particular experience with complex cranial and spinal conditions. His Mayo Clinic research included investigations into cerebrospinal-fluid flow and shunting for normal-pressure hydrocephalus, as well as publications involving vestibular schwannomas, cranial-base lesions, spinal disorders, and postoperative complications.
For a patient with a suspected neurological lesion, assessment may involve MRI or CT imaging and neurological examination before deciding whether observation, medication, rehabilitation, or surgery is appropriate.
His work with vestibular schwannoma also reflects multidisciplinary neurosurgical care involving hearing and balance structures. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders provides information about vestibular schwannoma.
