Consultation & Evaluation
CONDITIONS & TREATMENTS
Spine
The clinical presentation of spinal conditions varies depending on the affected area and the nerve involved — symptoms can range from localized or radiating pain to numbness and loss of mobility. A detailed evaluation helps identify the underlying cause and determine the most appropriate medical or surgical treatment for recovery.
Spine Conditions
Below are some common spine conditions.
- Degenerative disc disease
- Vertebral fracture
- Spinal cord tumor: intramedullary / extramedullary
- Cervical, thoracic, or lumbar disc herniation
- Failed back surgery syndrome
- Spina bifida
- Chiari malformation
- Scoliosis / adult spinal deformity
- Syringomyelia
- Spondylolisthesis
- Spinal infection (epidural abscess)
- Vertebral metastases (spinal bone tumors)
- Osteoporotic vertebral fracture
- Spinal stenosis (myelopathy / radiculopathy)
Spine Treatments
Below are the treatments Dr. José Raúl García Zamarrón specializes in for spinal conditions.
- Microdiscectomy (cervical / thoracic / lumbar)
- Endoscopic discectomy
- Decompressive laminectomy
- Foraminotomy
- ACDF (anterior cervical discectomy and fusion)
- Cervical disc arthroplasty / disc replacement
- Corpectomy
- Spinal fusion with instrumentation (screws and rods)
- Anterior approach — minimally invasive
- Percutaneous instrumentation
- Vertebroplasty / kyphoplasty
- Transpedicular fixation / trauma stabilization
- Laminoplasty
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery redefines the surgical approach by preserving the muscles that support the spine and enabling precise implant placement, which supports a faster patient recovery.
- Shorter surgical time
- Less Bleeding
- Small incisions
- Less muscle damage
CONDITIONS & TREATMENTS
Brain
Neurological conditions can present in many different ways depending on the area of the nervous system involved — from recurring headaches and balance problems to cognitive changes or loss of strength. A thorough, precise evaluation helps determine the nature of the problem and the most appropriate treatment or surgical approach for each case.
Brain Conditions
Below are some common brain conditions.
- Hydrocephalus
- Brain tumor
- Skull fracture
- Brain contusion
- Traumatic brain injury
- Epidural / subdural / intracerebral hematoma
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- Brain abscess
- Arteriovenous malformation
- Intracranial aneurysm
- Craniosynostosis
- Subdural empyema
- Hemorrhagic stroke
Neurosurgical Treatments
Below are the treatments Dr. José Raúl García Zamarrón specializes in for brain conditions.
- Craniotomy for tumor resection (microsurgery)
- Neuronavigation
- Intraoperative neurophysiology / brain mapping
- Awake craniotomy
- Stereotactic biopsy
- Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery
- Skull base surgery
- Microvascular decompression (MVD)
- Percutaneous rhizotomy (balloon / glycerol / radiofrequency)
- Microsurgical aneurysm clipping
- Endovascular therapy (coiling)
- Evacuative craniotomy
- Intracranial pressure monitoring
- Fluorescence-guided surgery
Minimally Invasive Brain Tumor Surgery (Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery)
Endoscopic transnasal pituitary surgery allows removal of pituitary tumors through the nose, without opening the skull.
- Low complication rate
- Less damage to healthy tissue
Trigeminal Microvascular Decompression
Microvascular decompression is a minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure designed to relieve trigeminal neuralgia.
- Long-lasting pain relief
- Preservation of facial sensation
Microsurgical aneurysm clipping
Microsurgical aneurysm clipping is a specialized neurosurgical procedure to stop or prevent a vessel rupture, protecting the brain from hemorrhages with serious clinical consequences.
- Cerebrovascular protection
- Preservation of healthy tissue
SURGICAL TREATMENTS FOR BRAIN TUMORS
Types of Brain Tumors
Dr. José Raúl García Zamarrón provides specialized diagnosis for a range of central nervous system tumors. Below are the main types of brain tumors he treats in his clinical practice:
- Medulloblastoma
- Glioblastoma multiforme
- Astrocytoma (grades I–IV)
- Meningioma
- Brain metastases
- Craniopharyngioma
- Schwannoma / Acoustic neuroma
- Ependymoma
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Consultation & Evaluation
Neurosurgical Evaluation
A comprehensive consultation designed to fully understand your case. By the end, you'll have an accurate diagnosis, a clear picture of your available options, and the treatment path best suited to your case.
Surgical Second Opinion
If you've already received a surgical recommendation and would like a second opinion before making a final decision, bring your imaging and diagnosis for a full evaluation.
MRI and X-Ray Interpretation
A thorough, specialized review of your imaging studies — such as MRIs and X-rays — to precisely identify the source of the problem and plan the most appropriate treatment strategy.
Post-Operative Follow-Up
The surgical process doesn't end when you leave the operating room — clinical support continues throughout your entire recovery. Through regular check-ins and follow-up imaging, we monitor your progress and address any concerns along the way.
