Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This is a picture taken during surgery at Mercy Medical Center, Springfield, MA. Dr. Kalia is looking through the operating microscope which illuminates and magnifies the surgical field. We use a dedicated neurosurgery team at our hospitals who are both well known to Dr. Kalia and outstanding at delivering the care needed in the operating room. This same set up applies for all cases from simple spinal surgery to the most complex brain and spine surgeries. Most surgeries are done under general anesthesia. Carpal Tunnel surgery and Glycerol Rhizotomies are done under local anesthesia with IV sedation. Patients briefly visit the hospital a few days before surgery for preadmission testing and are admitted to the hospital the morning of surgery. The person in the right of this picture is Ruthie F., the most dedicated, hardworking, skilled OR tech anyone could work with. I was honored and privileged to have worked with her for many years until her retirement.

MRI
Brain Tumor or other cranial case- 2 -12 hours/ ICU overnight, MRI the AM after surgery to see how much tumor is removed/2-5 days in hospital
Chemotherapy
Brain Tumors- There are basically 2 types; those that originate from the brain and surrounding tissue, or tumors that spread to the brain from somewhere else in the body (metastatic tumors, that is, cancer that has spread/metastasized). People often ask if their tumor is "benign"; benign and malignant are terms used to describe how a tumor looks under the microscope of the pathologist, or refers to how aggressive a tumor may be. However, even a "benign" tumor can grow back and cause serious harm or death (like in the case above where the tumor is pathologically considered benign but was causing blindness). Benign and malignant are not always the best terms to describe brain tumors. Just like in real estate, location is key. Some tumors are in a location where they can be removed with little chance of harming the patient from surgery. Others are in places where even with our current technologies, patients are likely to be harmed by surgery. The role surgery has to play is also not clear in some cases. The world of neurosurgery has not shown exactly when observation, biopsy, surgery, radiation, radiosurgery, or chemotherapy is necessary in certain types of tumors. Also, surgeons will impose their own bias when discussing options with patients. For some surgeons, the only option they offer is surgery....however, others, that have unbiased views will be able to discuss the benefits of all the options. For example, in patients with acoustic neuromas less than 1 inch in diameter ( say, about 2 cm), run out the door if the surgeon does not discuss radiosurgery in a positive light and as a viable option.

Neurosurgery
Onsidered to be one of the pioneers of modern neurosurgery. Dr. Kalia was trained by Dr. Jannetta and his faculty including Drs. L. Dade Lunsford, Hae Dong Jho, Peter Sheptak, Paul Nelson, Laligam Sekhar, A. Leland Albright, Dachling Pang, Donald Wright, Chandra Sen, Howard Yonas, John Moossy, Anthony Kaufmann, and

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
We all eventually suffer neck/back or arm/leg pain at some point in our lives. Most adults, if they had an MRI taken of their spine, would have herniated discs, bone spurs, "wear and tear" changes, that are, unfortunately, referred to as degenerative changes. That itself is not a problem. Usually, with time and/or conservative treatments like physical therapy, chiropractic care...
