Department of Neurosurgery and Spinal Surgery
Department of Neurosurgery and Interventional Neuroradiology annually admits over 670 patients with brain astrocytoma. Tumor and its metastases are completely removed with the help of innovative technique – laser ablation by miniature flexible catheter under the MRI-guidance. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Gasser, a member of the German Society of Neurosurgery and the World Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery.
Department of Neurosurgery and Spinal Surgery
The Department of Neurosurgery and Spinal Surgery offers the full range of services for the diagnostics and surgical treatment of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, spine and peripheral nerves. The department uses neuronavigation systems, 3D x-ray, intraoperative dopplerography, stereotaxy, electrophysiology, high-precision surgical microscopes and many other advanced devices that guarantee the effective and safe treatment. The department's surgeons are top-class professionals with rich clinical experience. The doctors always prefer sparing minimally invasive surgical techniques, while classic open surgery is performed only in complex clinical cases. State-of-the-art computer equipment allows the doctors to perform accurate planning of the neurosurgical intervention based on CT and MRI scans, which practically reduces the risk of developing a neurological deficit after the surgical treatment.
