Penn Neurosurgery at Virtua Health

Procedures take place in the hybrid operating lab at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, which provides our team the ability to perform both conventional open and microsurgical procedures. The lab features advanced bi-plane imaging technology that creates a three-dimensional roadmap of the blood vessels within your brain, and other state-of-the-art equipment that our neurosurgeons use to treat complex conditions such as brain tumors and spinal cord injuries.

Patients requiring around-the-clock inpatient care are managed by Penn Medicine’s neurohospitalists. These physicians assist Virtua’s critical care physicians by providing specialized neurologic care.

If your condition requires, you may be transferred to the Neurocritical Care Unit at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

Following treatment, you may require intensive rehabilitation. The Regional Rehabilitation Center at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital is the only comprehensive rehabilitation facility in southern New Jersey to be located within an acute care hospital. The Center provides patients with 24/7 medical care including physical, occupational, and speech therapy as needed.
