UTSW preclinical research combining focused ultrasound with nitrous oxide could improve safe delivery of gene therapy to the brain2025 Quality Outcomes Report
The Department of Neurological Surgery at UT Southwestern is proud to share its 2025 Quality Outcomes Report. This report highlights how substantial improvements in discharge processes, evidence-based protocols, and care coordination have led to enhanced patient experience, improved outcomes, increased discharge efficiencies, and significantly reduced mortality rates.A Discussion with Dr. Gebreyohanns: 2025 Ted Burns Humanism in Neurology Award
Dr. Jeff Ratliff talks with Dr. Mehari Gebreyohanns, the recipient of the 2025 Ted Burns Humanism in Neurology Award, about his journey into stroke care, the BORNE initiative, and the challenges faced in global neurology.Endoscopic Spine Surgery: The Lowest-Risk Option for Prolonged Back Pain Relief
For patients with back or leg pain, the source can usually be traced to nerve pressure, such as a herniated disc in younger patients or arthritic bone spurs in older populations. Traditionally, this would leave them to choose between undergoing extensive surgery to correct the issue or continuing treatments to mitigate the pain indefinitely. At UT Southwestern, patients now have a much less invasive option in endoscopic spine surgery, an outpatient procedure to fix the underlying issue and relieve pain.Lifelong physical activity may slow cognitive decline
