The Macquarie University Neurosurgery Unit is one of
the largest academic neurosurgery groups in Australia
Vascular neurosurgery is a major focus
of the group, both clinically and in the laboratory. We have extensive
experience in the management of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), aneurysms,
and occlusive diseases such as carotid artery stenosis and moyamoya disease. Many
complex brain vascular disorders and some brain tumours are best managed with
bypass grafts and our group is recognised nationally and internationally for our
expertise with these techniques. We work closely with the interventional
neuroradiologists at Macquarie
University Hospital
We have access to electromagnetic
stereotaxy and intra-operative CT scanning and angiography, which aid in the
management of complex intracranial and spinal lesions. Australia ’s first Gamma Knife radiosurgery unit
is at Macquarie University Hospital
Based at Macquarie
University Hospital ,
our group provides clinical services in Canberra ,
Penrith, Coffs Harbour ,
Gosford, the Sydney Northern Beaches ,
Roseville , Armidale, Bathurst ,
Orange
Our clinical training positions include
Masters/Doctor of Advanced Surgery in neurovascular surgery, spinal surgery,
and neuro-oncology, and Masters of Surgery in general neurosurgery. The Royal
Australasian College of Surgeons and the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia have accredited a Surgical Education and
Training (SET) position in our group.
Our research group is studying
syringomyelia (spinal cord cysts) and brain aneurysms, and is developing new
treatments for brain AVMs. Our research is supported by the National Health and
Medical Research Council (NHMRC). In addition to postdoctoral researchers and
research assistants, the unit supports 6 PhD students.
The neurosurgery unit provides a 24
hour, 7 day a week on-call service.
