        About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at HELIOS Clinic Krefeld

        The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at the HELIOS Clinic Krefeld offers the full range of services in this medical field. The specialists of the department have the very latest surgical techniques and innovative technical equipment, which guarantees excellent quality of treatment.

        Surgical treatment of oncological diseases of the nervous system is a particularly complex process, since the task of surgeons is not only to remove the tumor, but also to preserve all neurological functions. Each patient receives an individual treatment plan developed with due consideration of the recognized guidelines and international standards. For an effective surgery planning, its performance and subsequent treatment, there is maintained interdisciplinary cooperation with many specialists from the related medical fields. In addition to a wide range of surgical interventions, here are offered alternative treatment options, for example, targeted radiation therapy – Gamma Knife treatment.
