About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Meoclinic Hospital Berlin offers the full range of high-precision diagnostics and modern surgical treatment of diseases of the nervous system. A special area of the department's clinical activity is interventional pain management for the treatment of chronic pain in the back and neck, chronic headaches. In cooperation with spinal surgeons from the Department of Orthopedics, the specialists perform surgical interventions to treat spinal diseases and injuries of any severity. In addition, the doctors of the medical facility successfully cope with the treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the brain and spinal cord. The department's surgeons perform operations on the nervous system using low traumatic techniques that ensure high safety of treatment and minimal hospitalization. Neurologists are often involved in the therapeutic process, which contributes to the provision of comprehensive medical care to patients. The department has all the necessary resources for the effective restoration of the health of patients with neuropathologies, and the professionalism of the doctors of the medical facility is at the highest level. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Terttu Pietilä.
The department admits many patients with chronic back pain. At the initial appointment with a neurosurgeon, the patient talks about the nature of pain sensations and their intensity, after which the specialist carries out a clinical examination, based on the results of which he additionally prescribes imaging tests: ultrasound scanning, X-ray imaging, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging. The required complex of diagnostic tests is determined by the attending physician. Then the optimal treatment strategy is planned. In most cases, the specialists of the medical facility resort to multimodal therapy, which includes not only painkiller injections, but also such effective methods as massage, cryotherapy, thermotherapy, therapeutic exercises, acupuncture and other procedures.
A large number of clinical cases in the work of the department's medical team account for benign and malignant brain neoplasms. Neurosurgeons perform surgery to resect meningiomas, astrocytomas, acoustic neuromas, gliomas, glioblastomas, lymphomas, medulloblastomas, ependymomas and other tumors. The resection of brain tumors is performed in patients of all age groups – from infants and children to adults and the elderly. When performing surgical treatment, the specialists of the medical facility successfully use microsurgical and minimally invasive techniques that exclude large incisions and minimize trauma to healthy tissues. When performing operations for brain tumor resection, the department's neurosurgeons control all surgical procedures using cutting-edge computer navigation systems, which allow them to avoid damage to functionally important brain structures.
The department also has a successful experience in the surgical treatment of spinal diseases. The patients with spinal disc herniation, vertebral fractures, spondylolisthesis, spinal canal stenosis, spinal tumors and other pathologies can receive effective medical care here. The patients with spinal diseases are often treated in cooperation with experienced orthopedists. Preference is always given to sparing minimally invasive and microsurgical techniques, so the period of hospital stay after the operation is short, the patient can quickly restore mobility and return to normal life.
