Recognized for Excellence in Spine Surgery
You can feel confident in surgical spine care you’ll receive at St. Cloud Hospital, which has earned these recognitions:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Distinction Center+, which reflects our low readmission rates, few reoperations and complete care, including discectomy, fusion and decompression procedures
- Healthgrades’ America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Spine Surgery Award in 2024 for better-than-expected patient outcomes after spinal fusion
Advanced Technology Improves Your Care
At St. Cloud Hospital, computer guidance helps neurosurgeons visualize your anatomy and plan their approach. This technology helps make surgery less invasive, which leads to a faster recovery. You get precise, personalized care that has a lower risk of side effects and offers more relief from your symptoms.
Surgery for Brain & Spine Cancers
If you have a brain or spine tumor, your neurosurgeon will work with your cancer team to provide complete care. You may benefit from:
- Endoscopic skull-base surgery – Removes tumors through tiny incisions while sparing as much nearby healthy tissue as possible
- Gleolan – Makes brain tumors glow pink under a blue light to help surgeons remove more of the tumor safely
- Stereotactic radiosurgery – Uses tightly targeted radiation to destroy cancer cells without making an incision
Rest assured; we closely monitor you throughout surgery. You’ll receive anesthetic to prevent pain, but you may remain awake during treatment so we can give you the best care.
