Philosophy:

I am a neurosurgeon with an expertise in primary and metastatic tumors in the spine, as well as sinonasal and skull-base tumors. In my role as head of Memorial Sloan-KetteringÃ¢ÂÂs multidisciplinary spine tumor team (which is a group of neurosurgeons, surgeons, radiation oncologists, neuroradiologists, neuro-oncologists, and physiatrists), I have pioneered techniques to make spine tumor surgery safer and more effective. I am also a member of the Brain Tumor Center. In addition, I am the author of more than 70 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. I have been on the editorial board of the Annals of Surgical Oncology and am currently an ad hoc reviewer for Neurosurgery. I also participate in the National Institute of HealthÃ¢ÂÂs International Chordoma Study Group and am a member of the Spine Oncology Study Group. I have a strong interest in training residents and fellows for the practice of neurosurgical oncology. At Memorial Sloan-Kettering, I have supervised the surgical training and recruitment of neurosurgery fellows since 1996, and I also train and supervise neurosurgery residents at Weill Medical College of Cornell University.

Abstract:

Surgical prosthetic modular devices used singularly or stacked together are provided for use to replace excised vertebral tissue. The devices are rigid plugs, dimensionally similar to normal vertebral bodies, and have ridged faces to engage adjacent vertebral bodies or to interdigitate when stacked. Ridges extend in both the medial/lateral and anterior/posterior directions to prevent slipping in the anterior/posterior and medial/lateral directions respectively. A locking screw may be used to secure a stack to form a singular rigid prosthetic device. The devices are also provided with a plurality of threaded openings. In the method of this invention, a device is used to replace excised vertebral tissue, threaded bolts are inserted into the threaded openings, and other spine stabilization devices are attached to the bolts. In corporectomies, the device can be bolted to a plate, which in turn is fixed to adjacent vertebrae. In spondylectomies, the device can be fixed to a series of posteriorly placed rods.
