Neurological Institute

One of the most progressive patient and family-centered neurological centers in the region — offering the most advanced system on the East Coast for noninvasive treatment for brain disorders — is right here, close to your home. Cooper University Hospital’s Cooper Neurological Institute (CNI) is the only neurological institute in central and south New Jersey and one of the first hospitals in the U.S. to offer patients — the Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™.

The Cooper Neurological Institute (CNI) is located in an 11,500 square-foot facility in Three Cooper Plaza on the campus of Cooper University Hospital. The CNI features a comprehensive selection of neurological programs in a multi-disciplinary, collaborative, environment, including:

General Neurosurgery Spine Program Sports Neurosurgery Program Pituitary Program Eating Disorders Program Neuro Oncology Program Movement Disorders Seizures Disorders Depression Trigeminal Neuralgia Spinal Osteoporosis Neuro-rehabilitation gym Trauma/Stroke Cognitive Rehabilitation Muscular Dystrophy

Cerebral Palsy Spinal Rehabilitation Neuro Ophthalmology Neuro Otology Vestibular Dysfunction Balance Problems Hearing: Acoustic Neuroma Program Pediatric Neurology Developmental Autism Seizures Adult Hydrocephalus & Cognitive Disorder Unit Neurophysiology Neuropathology Neuropsychology

Additionally, the new Cooper University Hospital Pavilion, a new 120,000-square-foot building scheduled for completion in the fall of 2008, will include two leading-edge nurosurgical-dedicated operating rooms. These O.R.s — one primarily for cranial procedures and one primarily for spinal procedures — will have the newest image guidance surgical technology as well as an intraoperative CT (iCT).

BRAIN SURGERY WITHOUT ANY INCISIONS THAT'S AS PRECISE AS A PINPOINT
The Gamma Knife Perfexion™ is dedicated to the treatment of patients with brain disorders such as cancers and tumors, vascular abnormalities, functional disorders and ocular disorders. It is actually not a knife at all, but a radiosurgery medical instrument that uses 192 precisely targeted beams of gamma radiation to painlessly treat the specific area with minimal effect on the surrounding healthy tissue.
