The department is considered one of the leading Neurosurgery Centers worldwide. The department's specialists perform many successful operations to treat meningiomas, chordomas, schwannomas, aneurysms, arteriovenous and cavernous malformations.
The department's neurosurgeons use the very latest technologies for the treatment of adults and children with neurological and neurosurgical diseases. These include 3 Tesla MRI, which facilitates the total removal of the tumor, reduces the frequency of follow-up interventions and minimizes side effects caused by the operation. In addition, the department has innovative Gamma Knife Perfexion (Gamma Knife) system, which is used for the treatment of brain tumors. This system has a number of advantages, such as the higher accuracy and efficiency, minimal damage to the healthy brain tissues, no need for rehabilitation measures, no incisions on the head. The patient can return home already on the day of treatment.
