We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Donna Ferrero to UB Neurosurgery!

Dr. Ferrero is a non-surgical spine specialist known as a Physiatrist or Doctor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

She treats acute and chronic spine disorders, specifically neck and back, using a variety of treatments including medications, physical therapy, and soft tissue injections, such as trigger point and bursa injections.

Her primary goal is to maximize a patient’s function to improve their quality of life. 💙

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family and participating in activities such as pickleball, traveling, watching movies, reading, and cheering on her favorite sports teams.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Ferrero to the Spine Team at UBNS!

A new study involving Dr. Elad Levy, Dr. Rosalind Lai, Dr. Jason M. Davies, Dr. Kenneth Snyder, and Dr. Adnan Siddiqui highlights the impressive performance of the LVIS EVO stent — a next-generation device used to treat brain aneurysms. 🧠

Researchers reviewed data from over 400 patients and found that the LVIS EVO achieved a 99% technical success rate, with strong long-term outcomes and low complication rates.

In simpler terms, this tiny stent is making a BIG impact in helping doctors safely treat complex brain aneurysms.

A brain aneurysm is a dangerous, balloon-like bulge in an artery that can rupture. When these bulges are large, complex treatments are necessary!

This new study found that the best chance for fully sealing the aneurysm off—and giving patients a better recovery—is by combining two methods:

1️⃣ Flow Diversion (FD): Placing a mesh tube to redirect blood flow away from the bulge.

2️⃣ Coiling: Packing tiny metal springs inside the bulge to help it clot.

The crucial discovery is that this combined approach is most successful only if the coils fill at least 12% to 14% of the aneurysm's space.

This research gives neurosurgeons a clear and simple goal to maximize the safety and effectiveness of treating these high-risk aneurysms.

Join us in celebrating history being made again in Buffalo! 🧠

UBNS, in collaboration with Precision Neuroscience , Kaleida Health, and Benjamin Rapoport, MD, performed the first-ever elective craniotomy for intracranial aneurysm Brain-Computer Interface ( ) case in the United States.

Using Precision’s Cortical 7-Layer Gen 2 platform, this marks the first time an advanced cortical interface has been used in an elective vascular neurosurgical procedure — right here in Buffalo, NY.

This milestone represents a major step forward for neurotechnology and brain restoration, positioning Buffalo as a national leader in neuroscience innovation.

Dr. Elad Levy and the UB Neurosurgery team are leading the way in bringing portable MRI into the operating room through the PRISM PMR study with Hyperfine.

Using the next-generation Swoop® system, neurosurgeons can perform imaging immediately before and after surgery, helping confirm results, rule out complications, and even safely discharge patients the same day.

This innovative approach is transforming surgical workflows, increasing patient safety, and expanding access to advanced neuroimaging—without the need for large, costly intraoperative MRI systems.

Dr. Levy recently demonstrated the system live at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, showing how it can assess the intracranial environment in real time and improve care efficiency.

November is Epilepsy Awareness Month 🧠

Epilepsy affects more than 3 million adults and 470,000 children in the U.S.—making it the second most common neurological disorder.

Epilepsy is diagnosed when a person experiences two or more unprovoked seizures, caused by sudden changes in the brain’s electrical activity. While two-thirds of patients respond well to medication, others may need advanced treatment to achieve seizure control.

UB Neurosurgery physicians specialize in comprehensive evaluation and surgical management for patients whose seizures aren’t controlled with medication. Options like laser ablation, RNS (brain-responsive neurostimulation), VNS (vagal nerve stimulation), and deep brain stimulation (DBS) can dramatically reduce or even stop seizure activity.

If you or a loved one is living with epilepsy, early evaluation can make all the difference.

A new study in Medical Physics [TAG] explores how artificial intelligence can improve brain vessel imaging during procedures for intracranial aneurysms.

By correcting for projection foreshortening and injection variability, the research ensures that AI can provide more consistent and accurate measurements, helping clinicians make better decisions during interventions.

Dr. Adnan H. Siddiqui [TAG] played key roles in advancing this work, demonstrating UBNS’s commitment to innovation in neurointerventional care.
