Welcoming the newest members UM Neurosurgery Familia 🙌🏻🤩

What a great AANS meeting in Boston - everyone enjoyed 🙌 neurosurgery alumni session and honoring our former cochair - @jacquesmorcos for his presidential year. My wife @tererodrigueztv did an awesome job interviewing Bob Woodruff and Dr. Rocco Armando at the opening session.

Hearing Dr. Jacques Morcos MD FRCS FAANS say, "I am none of those things, because quite simply, I am all of those things," stirred deep memories. Grateful for the humility, resilience, grit, and strength he instilled in us at UM Neurosurgery, lessons that shaped who I am.

Can patients with brain tumors safely go home the same day after LITT? Our pilot study shows it's safe & feasible in selected patients. 🔗:rdcu.be/elLyv

Thrilled to share that our recent publication is officially in press today! This work explores the impacts of heatsinks on LITT outcomes for primary CNS tumors and reflects the dedication, innovation, and collaboration of the Miami LITT team and Brain Tumor Institute. Go team 🙌🏼

Rare but real: Brachial plexus lipomas can hide in plain sight, causing nerve deficits. Our Neurosurgery Publications review guides diagnosis, surgery, and recovery. 🔗 doi.org/10.1227/neu.00… #Neurosurgery #PeripheralNerve

🚨 New in the special issue! El Choueiri et al. dive deep into endoscopic techniques tackling far more than just lumbar disc herniation—a must-read for anyone pushing the boundaries of MIS. 🔗 mdpi.com/3327418 JCM MDPI #EndoscopicSpineSurgery #Neurosurgery #Orthopaedics

Thrilled to share that our new manuscript on brachial plexus lipomas has been published in Neurosurgery. Grateful to my mentors Allan Levi, MD, PhD, Adham Khalafallah, MD, and the UM Neurosurgery team for the opportunity to first-author this paper. #Neurosurgery #PeripheralNerve

Behold… a BCI Rockstar! Exciting milestone with a rockstar team at UMiami Health System 🌴 Also, these guys must have the secret sauce because I’m not sure a neurosurgery department could get much higher on the cool factor …looking at you Allan Levi, MD, PhD The Buoniconti Fund / Miami Project #jonjagid

I am excited to announce that we Miller Medicine and MiamiProject, have successfully implanted our first patient, RJ, as part of Neuralink's PRIME Study! Thank you Elon Musk for revolutionizing therapies for our patients!

#JNSCaseLessons. Authors highlight rare case of anterior sacral meningocele with concurrent Currarino syndrome and caudal duplication anomaly. thejns.org/caselessons/vi…

We successfully completed both P8 and P9 this weekend, our first time performing two surgeries in one day. Both participants are recovering well and in great spirits. We are looking forward to supporting them on their Neuralink journey.

Results from Johns Hopkins Neurosurgery-led study demonstrate increased OS in GBM with resection beyond contrast-enhancing tumor margins. With no associated increase in postoperative deficits, PTR >1.74 cm3 was both effective and safe in select cases. acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… OncoAlert

Shah et al. Ashish H. Shah Dr. Ricardo J Komotar Michael Ivan, MD, MBS, FAANS identified higher mFI-5 scores, preoperative neurological deficits, and larger tumor volume as independent predictors of prolonged length of stay after LITT for intracranial tumors. #JNO Read more:link.springer.com/article/10.100…
