Such a treat to have Dr. JP Wolinsky back at his Alma Mater @MethodistHosp last weekend for the inaugural Neurosurgery/Neurology Boot Camp! Learning about spinal oncology from the best @HMethodistMD @HMNeurosurgery @trask_todd@PaulJHolmanMD11
The Dept growth. From 6 in 2013 to 27 neurosurgeons, from 1 scientist to 14 with 16 basic science labs plus bioinformatics center and 6 million dollars in research funding. It is all about the people.
Thankful for the opportunity to present a chordoma case at Icotec spine tumor board this evening with spinal oncology giants Drs. Rhines and @arpitchhabraMD!
I was interviewed for a NYT article describing exercises to prevent back pain. If you have bothersome back pain, come see us @MethodistHosp@HMethodistMD. We can help. https://t.co/irywomXtWO
New blog entry in the HMH Leading Medicine Newsletter about the exciting new spinal cord stimulation technology coming from the Horner lab. @HMethodistMD @HMNeurosurgery https://t.co/JyHh0H4O26
Big calcified thoracic disc with cord compression. Most spine surgeons would consider an invasive open approach. @SanjayKonak shows it can be done through a tiny incision with an endoscope, and the patient can go home the same day! Mind blowing https://t.co/jEfdmbfuPb
A novel method for ventral epidural wireless neuromodulation from the Horner lab @HMethodistMD @HMNeurosurgery . A lot of potential here for neuroregeneration and recovery of function after #spinalcordinjury

Chordoma is a devastating disease of the brain/spine, but there is a potential for cure when treated at an experienced center. #Neurosurgery @HMH_Nsgy @ChordomaFDN@HMethodistMD
Top flight lecture today on intradural tumors by @alibaajmd@virtualspine !
Nice paper by Dr. Gokaslan and the team at Brown University in reference to the question earlier on whether or not there is an oncologic benefit in excising the dura w/ spinal meningiomas
