Pediatric Neurosurgery
The Pediatric Neurosurgery Center of Central Texas is another medical first for this region. In conjunction with Dell Children’s and the University of Texas Medical Branch, the Pediatric Neurosurgery Center incorporates technological innovation and translational research protocols into patient-minded care. Dell Children’s pediatric neurosurgery program will offer a first for Central Texas — an epilepsy/pre-surgery monitoring unit, which will allow physicians to determine if a patient is a candidate for epilepsy surgery.
