Dr. Kenneth Liebman serves as director of Neurosurgical Critical Care at Capital Health. After completing his neurosurgery residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Dr. Liebman was director of cerebrovascular neurosurgery for the Department of Neurosciences at Seton Hall University. He was chief of the Division of Neurosurgery at Muhlenberg Hospital prior to joining the medical staff at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he received fellowship training in cerebrovascular surgery and interventional neuroradiology. As an assistant professor of neurosurgery at Thomas Jefferson University's Jefferson Medical College, he started and directed a microvascular course taught to residents and fellows.
Dr. Liebman was also among the first in the region to use the Merci Retriever and Penumbra devices as well as the Cordis Enterprise Stent. A corkscrew-like device that removes blood clots in the brain caused by stroke, the Merci Retriever increases blood flow to the brain and limits the amount of brain damage caused by stroke, allowing patients to recover faster with less permanent stroke impairments. While the Merci Retriever pulls the clot out, Penumbra is a tiny vacuum device that sucks up the blood clot and restores blood flow to the brain. The Cordis Enterprise Stent is a new way to treat patients with wide neck aneurysms through a specially designed microstent that allows aneurysms to be treated through a minimally invasive surgery without opening the skull. Dr. Liebman is also trained in the use of the CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System, providing patients with a non-invasive treatment option for AVMs, brain and spinal tumors, and trigeminal neuralgia.
A nationally recognized academic leader in the area of cerebrovascular care, Dr. Liebman has written chapters and articles in various publications that are used as data for colleagues across the country and lectures at international conferences for physicians around the world.
