About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery, Epilepsy Surgery, Spinal Surgery at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden offers the full range of diagnostics and surgical treatment of diseases of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves at the highest international level of modern medicine. The department has four high-tech operating rooms, in which more than 2,400 surgical interventions are performed annually. Surgery to treat tumors of the nervous system in childhood and adulthood is of particular interest to the department's specialists. In addition, the department's medical team has unique clinical experience in the surgical treatment of epilepsy, spinal pathologies and deformities, as well as neurovascular pathologies. The department's doctors have a perfect command of advanced surgical techniques, for example, navigational surgery, intraoperative neuromonitoring, hybrid surgical techniques, which are the basis of successful clinical practice. State-of-the-art computer-assisted systems allow neurosurgeons to plan each stage of surgical intervention as accurately as possible, thereby guaranteeing its high efficiency and safety. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Gabriele Schackert.
The department has state-of-the-art medical equipment, including systems for transcranial magnetic stimulation, pre- and intraoperative neuromonitoring. The department is also equipped with modern microscopes. The doctors of the medical facility perform resection procedures using fluorescence and neuronavigation. In addition, a 3 Tesla intraoperative MRI system has been available here since October 2018. This system allows surgeons to control the degree of tumor resection during surgery, clearly see the rest of the resected tumor and thus achieve the best result, avoiding neurological disorders. All these features provide the highest safety for the patient. The department also has a hybrid operating room where cerebrovascular interventions and epilepsy surgery are performed. The department also specializes in spinal surgery and neuromodulation with deep brain stimulation.
An important focus of the department's clinical practice is the treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the nervous system. The department's neurosurgeons successfully perform surgical interventions to resect gliomas, meningiomas, brain metastases, skull base tumors, pituitary adenomas, acoustic neuromas, lymphomas and germ cell tumors. Each clinical case is considered during regular tumor boards with the participation of neurologists, oncologists, radiation therapists and other specialists. The patients with head tumors are most often indicated to have a surgical intervention. When performing surgery, doctors use advanced surgical microscopes, intraoperative monitoring systems, navigation systems and other advanced technologies to avoid damage to vital anatomical structures of the brain. With the tumor localized in hard-to-reach places, radiation therapy is the first-line therapy. Chemotherapy, targeted therapy and other therapies are also used when clinically indicated.
Another priority focus of the department's neurosurgeons is epilepsy surgery. In most cases, special drugs are used to deal with epileptic seizures, and operations are performed only if conservative treatment is ineffective. Accurate diagnostics and determination of the causes of the development of pathology plays a decisive role in the treatment success. The team of the department's neurosurgeons offers epilepsy patients the following surgical procedures: anterior temporal lobe resection, selective amygdalohippocampectomy, lezionectomy, topectomy and callosotomy. In addition, the department carries out vagus nerve stimulation. Such a therapeutic manipulation is indicated for patients with contraindications for surgery, or if the patient refuses the operation for his own reasons. Doctors carefully study the patient's diagnostic results, his anamnesis and information about previous epileptic seizures in order to select the best treatment option.
The department is a certified Spine Surgery Center (certificate of the German Spine Society, DWG). Special attention is paid to the surgical treatment of spinal disc herniation, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal tumors and metastases, inflammatory diseases, congenital spinal malformations. Most spinal surgical procedures are performed using sparing minimally invasive surgical techniques. Should open surgery be required, microsurgical techniques are used. Reconstructive surgery to treat spinal instability is performed in a hybrid operating room with the use of an intraoperative computed tomography system and computer navigation.
In the field of pediatric neurosurgery, special attention is paid to the treatment of malignant brain tumors. The team of neurosurgeons annually performs more than 40 brain tumor resection interventions in children. The doctors from the Department of Neuropediatrics are involved in the therapeutic process. The department's specialists have vast experience in the surgical treatment of hydrocephalus. The classical treatment method for hydrocephalus is ventriculoperitoneal shunting, but recently the department's surgeons have been increasingly performing endoscopic ventriculocysternostomy, which is less traumatic. In addition, neurosurgeons along with pediatric surgeons and maxillofacial surgeons of the university hospital, have been performing surgery to repair developmental anomalies of the skull bones in children for more than 14 years.
