Incredible weekend at the @SNS_Neurosurg #RUNN course in beautiful Pacific Grove CA. It was an honor to learn from pioneers and leaders in the field about academic neurosurgery and I’m excited to apply the lessons learned @CNS_Update @AANSNeuro
Watch our latest series in the AANS/CNS @PedsSection on VP shunts by Dr. Pisapia, Dr. Kestle and @eliasbrizkmd youtu.be/p__FboUOiVI?si=eoGx…
🏆 TOP ABSTRACT CSRS 2026
Dr. Wainwright, in collaboration with our anesthesia colleagues, is changing how cervical spine surgery patients recover.
Our team asked: what if we could change that from the moment surgery ends?

Our residents spent the day at a cervical spine lab hosted by @GlobusMedical headquarters in PA led by Dr. John Wainwright. They learned about instrumentation of C1, C2, and subaxial posterior and anterior cervical spine

Congratulations to one of our spine faculty, Dr. John Wainwright on being awarded a Translational Science Initiative Grant from New York Medical College — in collaboration with Dr. Richard Zeman and Dr. Abraham Brown to study SGLT inhibitors in spinal cord injury !
This week our residents got hands on microsurgical training in a peripheral nerve lab and trained on the latest robotic technology by @MitakaUSA @mmimicro_inc

An honor to have our division chief featured in @techreview showcasing the work our team does for epilepsy patients at @WMCHealth
I was honored to be featured in @MIT @techreview discussing #epilepsysurgery and the great work our team is doing at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital @MFCHatWMC & @nymcbrainspine
I'm so lucky to work with such amazing kids, families and colleagues here!

Excellent talk from our very own @Doc_Muh on etiology-based epilepsy surgery covering all aspects of surgical management - investigation, resection, ablation and neuromodulation. #AES2025 @nymcbrainspine @WMCHealth

Presented at #SVIN25:
CREST-2: In high-grade asymptomatic carotid stenosis, addition of stenting to medical therapy led to a lower risk of stroke over a 4-year period. Endarterectomy did not lead to a significant benefit. Full results: nej.md/3LK9kst

"Stroke care should not depend on geography," says @almuftifawaz, providing #SVIN25 attendees with an update on the @MThrombectomy initiative, the @svinsociety tele-observership programme, and ongoing implementation of the SILC certification

Watch. To. The. End.
#SVIN2025 just casually dropped a bombshell:
CREST-2 says carotid stenting > CEA + medical management.
Yes, you read that right.
The data has spoken: ARD 3.2%, RR 2.13, and the p-value didn’t come to play.
The plenary hall was purely electric.
You could feel the field shift in real time. – at Doctor Phillips, FL

Hanging out at #SVIN25 with just some of the @nymcbrainspine @nymedcollege @WMCHealth neuroscience team in lovely Orlando FL! Great science and trials.
It’s a privilege and an honor to be part of the CHESS trial
Thank you Chirag D. Gandhi MD FACS FAANS @nymcbrainspine for enrolling the 100th patient in #CHESS. We really appreciate you and your team for reaching this important study milestone @NINDSfunding @NINDStrials
Neurosurgery BBQ at our very own Dr.
Ilya Frid's new home! Great way to spend a Saturday outside of the OR
Honored to have our very own Dr. @SausonSoldozy and @UMDNeurosurgery Dr. Riccardo Serra represent the @AANSNeuro at the Vascular/Skull Base Neurosurgery @EANSonline50 course this year in Bratislava, Slovakia!
Check out the second installment AANS/CNS section on disorders of spine and peripheral nerve. This time covering carpal tunnel syndrome hosted by our own Dr. Jared Pisapia and @eliasbrizkmd Dr. Harbaugh from @PennStNeurosurg
