Sherwin Hua Neurosurgery

Specialties

Dr. Hua specializes in neurosurgery, spine surgery, and neurosurgical pain management. Dr. Hua focuses on the most minimally invasive procedures to treat the problem and to prevent the need for further surgery.

Dr. Hua developed the concept of DIME SPINE surgery to describe his technique of performing most single level spine surgeries through a Dime Sized Incision, including most fusions. Dr. Hua also coined the term– Lamina Preserving Surgery, which avoids laminectomy and preserves the anatomy and stability of the spine. These procedures include foraminotomy for the lower back and neck, which avoids fusing the spine and laminoplasty for the neck which also avoids laminectomy and preserves stability while avoiding a fusion.

Furthermore, Dr. Hua is also an expert in spinal cord stimulation which can treat pain when surgery has failed or when traditional surgery has a low likelihood of success.

Less is More!

Dr. Hua is a Hopkins trained, board certified neurosurgeon who specializes in brain and spinal disorders and neurosurgical pain management.

Dr. Hua has learned through his vast experience with brain and spinal disorders that less invasive and being less aggressive with surgery is often better for the patient.

The balance between doing enough to relieve the symptoms and letting the body heal itself versus doing too much which can cause more problems in the future is often a fine line that takes years of experience to learn.

Because Dr. Hua specializes in both spine surgery and neurosurgical pain management, he can quickly determine whether traditional surgery, DIME SPINE surgery, Lamina Preserving Surgery, or pain procedures such as spinal cord stimulation is most effective for your unique situation.
