Department of Neurosurgery
Specialized in: neurosurgery About the Department of Neurosurgery at Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch
The Department of Neurosurgery at the Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch offers the full range of surgical treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. The department's surgeons have special competencies in the treatment of neurological cancers. A unique offer of the department is transcranial magnetic stimulation, which is highly effective in the treatment of paraplegia, stroke, chronic pains and depression. Neurosurgical interventions are carried out in state-of-the-art operating rooms equipped with high-precision navigation and monitoring devices, which eliminate the risk of damage to functionally important structures during the operation. The department is headed by PD Dr. med. Yu-Mi Ryang.
One of the department's priority focuses is the treatment of brain tumors. The department's neurosurgeons mostly have to perform operations for glioma removal. The department has extensive and successful experience in the treatment of such neoplasms. In most cases, it is impossible to completely remove the tumor, but the operation helps to significantly alleviate the symptoms and improve the quality of life of the patient. In addition, meningioma is a common diagnosis. Due to the features of growth, the doctors can often completely remove meningioma.
The tasks of the department include operations to resect skull base tumors. Many interventions can be performed using minimally invasive techniques. For example, when treating pituitary adenoma, the doctors do not perform skin incisions, since surgical access is provided through the nasal cavity. Once surgical treatment is completed, the patient is prescribed necessary follow-up imaging examinations to assess the result of the operation.
An important role in the clinical practice of the department is also given to the treatment of spinal diseases. The service range covers minimally invasive, microsurgical and classic open interventions. Of particular interest is the treatment of patients with chronic back pain, herniated discs and spinal tumors. The neurosurgeons widely apply the TESSYS endoscopic procedure, stabilizing, fusion interventions. The specialization also includes intervertebral disc replacement surgery.
The main focuses of the department's activities include:
- Surgical treatment of brain tumors (focus on gliomas and meningiomas)
- Surgical treatment of skull base tumors
- Spinal surgery
- Periradicular therapy
- Implantation of dynamic intervertebral spacer to treat intervertebral disc degeneration
- Endoscopic intervertebral disc surgery
- Posterior lumbar interbody fusion
- Cervical disc replacement surgery
- Interventions to treat rare diseases of the spine and spinal cord
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (innovative non-surgical technique for the treatment of paraplegia, stroke, chronic pain and depression)
- Osteoporosis treatment using kyphoplasty
- Minimally invasive interventions to treat brain aneurysms (coiling)
- Other surgical options
