Summary

Dr. Yu-Hung Kuo is known for his innovative, aggressive approach to treating the most complex cerebral cases, particularly ones involving tumors of the brain and pituitary gland. He specializes in minimally invasive alternatives for cerebral surgery including neuroendoscopy and stereotactic radiosurgery – a knifeless procedure that utilizes focused radiation to treat lesions of the brain. What differentiates Dr. Kuo among other neurosurgeons is his comfort in performing awake craniotomies for tumor resection, a technique also known as "awake surgery." He is the only surgeon in the region to routinely perform this advanced procedure, allowing him to continuously monitor a patient’s neurologic functions, such as such as speech and movement during surgery to minimize the risk of neurologic damage. "My approach to patient care is one that maximizes function and prolongs life," says Dr. Kuo. "I am committed to taking on the challenging, high-end cases that others may not wish to tackle."

In addition to seeing patients at Albany Med's Physicians Pavilion, Dr. Kuo is available to see patients at the Capital Region Health Park at 713 Troy-Schenectady Road in Latham and in Kingston at 365 Broadway.
