Neuroplastic Surgery

 
Preserving Form | Restoring Function
 

Neuroplastic surgery is a new surgical specialty developed at Johns Hopkins. By bridging the gap between neurosurgery and plastic surgery, we ensure patients have complete preservation or restoration of their preoperative appearance, providing them with an enhanced sense of confidence, health and happiness.

Recent Research

Improved Shunts for Hydrocephalus

Surgically implanted shunts are the only treatment for hydrocephalus. While effective, these shunts are bulky, and they noticeably protrude from the skull. For the first time ever, surgeons have embedded a patient's shunt within a custom, low-profile skull implant.
