Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery
Specialized in: adult and pediatric neurosurgery About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at University Hospital Essen
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Essen offers the widest range of surgical interventions for the treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, including stereotactic surgery and endoscopy. With more than 2,400 operations every year, the department has a unique experience, which allows it to provide the high-quality medical care even in extremely complex clinical cases. The key focus of the department is pediatric neurosurgery. In addition to the high professionalism of doctors, the treatment success is facilitated by exclusively advanced medical equipment, for example, neuronavigation systems and intraoperative fluorescence navigation. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Ulrich Sure.
The department provides all options for the treatment of neurosurgical diseases. These include brain surgery for the treatment of cancer and vascular diseases. The priority focus is the comprehensive treatment of vascular anomalies (aneurysms, cavernomas, angiomas). In the field of neuro-oncology (the treatment of cancer of the nervous system), the department provides medical services in close cooperation with the West German Cancer Centre, which has an excellent reputation in Germany and is one of the largest and most progressive medical facilities of the international level. Also, key attention is paid to the treatment of spinal and spinal cord diseases.
The operations are performed in three operating rooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The department widely uses neuronavigation surgery, which allows to ensure the highest accuracy and safety during the operations on the brain and spinal cord, spine. The specialists from the departments of neuroradiology, pediatrics, neuropediatrics are often involved in performing operations in children, which contributes to the achievement of an optimal treatment outcome. Before determining the type of required intervention, there is conducted the comprehensive diagnostics, and after the selection of the best treatment option, the doctors carefully plan the surgical procedure.
The department’s clinical focuses include:
- Surgical treatment of arteriovenous malformations
- Surgical treatment of cerebral aneurysms
- Surgical treatment of acoustic neuroma
- Surgical treatment of cavernomas
- Functional neurosurgery
- Deep brain stimulation
- Surgical treatment of diseases of the peripheral nervous system
- Pediatric neurosurgery
- Surgical treatment of spina bifida
- Skull base surgery (pituitary tumors, meningiomas)
- Surgical treatment of complex spinal diseases
- Other diagnostic and therapeutic services
