Overview

About UNC Neurosurgery

UNC Health's Department of Neurosurgery is committed to the principles of leading, teaching, and caring. Our multidisciplinary team offers treatment for many subspecialty disciplines, working closely with specialists from other departments at UNC Health including neurology, oncology, otolaryngology, radiology and radiation oncology.

Our neurosurgery services include treatment for aneurysms and cerebrovascular disease, brain tumor treatment, epilepsy surgery, treatment for spine and head trauma, hydrocephalus treatment, and pituitary tumor treatment. We also specialize in skull base surgery, spinal neurosurgery, pediatric neurosurgery, and deep brain stimulation surgery. Our clinicians look first to nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedures that meet patient care goals, and then consider more invasive or surgical options as indicated.

UNC Neurosurgery is committed to participation in team science. We are proud to partner with leading researchers both throughout UNC's campus, and around the state and country.

UNC Neurosurgery educates neurosurgery residents and UNC medical students with a forward-thinking curriculum that includes access to a surgical simulation training lab. We accept two new neurosurgery residents each year, preparing them to be well-rounded in all of the major neurosurgical subspecialty areas. Trainees are capable of independent neurosurgical practice upon completion of the seven-year neurosurgery residency program.
