About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Assuta Hospital Tel Aviv offers the full range of surgical treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. In the course of surgical intervention, there are used surgical microscopes, intraoperative MRI and ultrasound examination, neuronavigation systems, with the help of which it is possible to image the shortest and safest access to the surgical area. These techniques contribute to the best possible preservation of healthy tissues adjacent to the surgical field. The very latest surgical techniques in combination with the tremendous experience of doctors provide excellent treatment results.
The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Zvi Ram, who is one of the most famous Israeli neurosurgeons, whose clinical experience exceeds 30 years. A world-famous doctor, the specialist of the highest category in functional neurosurgery and minimally invasive removal of the brain tumors. He performs very complex surgeries on the brain and spinal cord, as well as on the pituitary, such as tumor removal through the nose.
The main clinical focuses of the department include:
- Transsphenoidal pituitary surgeries (access through the nostril)
- Replacement and prosthetics of the spinal discs, vertebrae
- Surgical treatment of neoplasms in the spine and spinal cord
- Surgical treatment of brain tumors
- Endoscopic surgeries in hydrocephalus, as well as its treatment with the help of bypass grafting

- Other medical services
It should be noted that the department offers many unique medical techniques, which have proven to be highly effective internationally. The most prominent of them are:
- DISC FX is an innovative minimally invasive technique for the treatment of spinal disc herniation using the RF ENERGY technology. It is based on the use of high-frequency low-temperature radio waves and allows to minimize both pain syndrome and rehabilitation period.
- Sparing surgical treatment of brain tumors, which is preceded by a complex of diagnostic procedures, such as computed tomography, MRI, radioisotope scanning techniques, angiography, and biopsy.
- CyberKnife is an innovative therapeutic method, the principle of which lies in the targeted effect of an X-ray beam directly on the tumor. This allows the doctor to reduce the postoperative brain swelling, to preserve the surrounding tissues, and therefore avoid the complications during the postoperative period.
