The department's neurosurgeons specialize in resection surgery for benign and malignant brain tumors. A large number of surgical interventions are performed for the removal of meningiomas, gliomas, pituitary adenomas, acoustic neuromas and brain metastases. Brain surgery is a complex task for surgeons, since the slightest mistake can lead to damage to vital anatomical structures and the patient's disability. Therefore, the department's operating rooms have the most advanced equipment: neuronavigation systems and intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring systems, devices for stereotaxic surgery, fluorescence microscopy, etc. State-of-the-art equipment allows not only for the effective surgical treatment of brain tumors, but also for the maximum safety of the intervention for the patient.
The medical facility is certified as the Vascular Neurosurgery Center by the German Society of Neurosurgery (DGNC). In this field, doctors cooperate closely with neuroradiologists who specialize in sparing endovascular surgery. The competence of the department's neurosurgeons includes interventions for cerebral aneurysms, angiomas, vascular malformations, moyamoya disease and other pathologies.
An important clinical focus of the department's neurosurgeons is skull base surgery. These interventions are performed within the framework of a highly specialized center certified by the German Society for Skull Base Surgery (GSB). The neurosurgeons working in the center cooperate closely with otolaryngologists and maxillofacial surgeons. The department's operating rooms have all the necessary equipment to perform surgical interventions for neurinomas, craniopharyngiomas, glomus tumors, chondrosarcomas, sphenoid wing meningiomas, cerebellopontine angle tumors, etc.
