About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery, Spinal Surgery at the Charite University Hospital Berlin offers all the possibilities of modern surgical treatment for diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system in patients of all ages. More than 6,000 surgical procedures are performed annually in the department's high-tech operating rooms. Both planned and emergency neurosurgical procedures are performed here. The department's surgical team focuses on patients with cerebrovascular diseases, brain and skull base tumors, spine and spinal cord diseases, cerebrospinal fluid circulation disorders, and pathologies of the peripheral nervous system. The department's team of physicians also has extensive experience in functional neurosurgery: specialists perform deep brain stimulation for movement disorders, spinal cord stimulation for back pain, and vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy. The department works closely with neurologists, radiologists, and nuclear medicine specialists to provide patients with the highest level of comprehensive medical care. The department is recognized as one of the top neurosurgical centers in Germany and beyond, as evidenced by consistently high treatment success rates and numerous quality certifications, including the German Cancer Society (DKG) Certificate, the German Spine Society (DWG) Certificate, and the Leading Medicine Guide Certificate.
The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Peter Vajkoczy. The specialist is widely known in medical circles and has a well-deserved reputation as one of the best neurosurgeons in Europe. Each year, Prof. Peter Vajkoczy performs more than 800 operations on the brain, spine, and peripheral nervous system. The neurosurgeon has many years of experience in treating complex pathologies of the nervous system. Working with advanced equipment and applying innovative neurosurgical techniques, the specialist ensures excellent treatment results.
The team of neurosurgeons in the department has exceptional experience in the treatment of vascular diseases of the nervous system. Special attention is paid to the surgical treatment of brain aneurysms, cerebrovascular accidents, and vascular malformations of the brain and spinal cord. Surgical procedures for the above-mentioned pathologies are performed using innovative imaging equipment: Zeego® intraoperative angiography, AIRO© intraoperative computed tomography, and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging. For the treatment of brain aneurysms, the department's specialists perform microsurgical clipping or occlusion of the aneurysm with subsequent bypass, the latter being the most effective treatment option for large aneurysms located in a difficult-to-reach area of the brain. For patients with chronic cerebral circulation disorders, the neurosurgeons of the department offer treatment with the method of extracranial-intracranial bypass, the purpose of which is to normalize the blood supply to the brain in order to prevent stroke. The department also specializes in the surgical treatment of Moyamoya disease, which is characterized by progressive stenosis and occlusion of the cerebral arteries. The pathology is most often detected in childhood. The neurosurgeons perform treatment using direct and indirect bypass techniques, and in some cases combine both techniques. The department also treats patients with vascular malformations of the brain and spinal cord: dural arteriovenous fistulas, arteriovenous malformations, and cavernomas. Depending on the individual clinical situation, image-guided interventional procedures, open surgery, or radiosurgical treatment using the CyberKnife method are used to remove the vascular malformation.
The priority areas of work of the department's neurosurgical team also include the treatment of tumors of the brain, skull base, and spine. The department is part of the Charite Comprehensive Cancer Center and has been certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG) since 2012. The department's specialists perform highly precise operations to resect tumors of the central nervous system. The specialists meet weekly in a tumor board that includes neurologists, neuroradiologists, oncologists, radiation therapists, otolaryngologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and ophthalmologists. Together, these physicians review the patient's diagnostic findings and develop an individualized treatment plan. The department's neurosurgeons operate primarily on patients with glioblastomas, astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas, and brain metastases. Each surgical procedure is carefully planned using MRI and PET scans. During surgery, advanced surgical microscopes, neuronavigation systems, and intraoperative and electrophysiological monitoring devices are used. These technologies allow for effective tumor resection while providing a high safety profile for the patient. After surgery, the patient receives comprehensive care. Follow-up examinations are performed to assess the effectiveness of the surgical intervention.
The department is certified by the German Spine Society (DWG) as a specialized Center for Maximum Care Spinal Surgery. The medical facility has accumulated many years of experience in the surgical treatment of degenerative diseases of the spine (spondyloarthrosis, osteochondrosis, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and kyphosis), herniated discs, spinal fractures, spinal tumors, inflammatory spinal diseases (spondylodiscitis and spondyloarthritis). Imaging diagnostics are of crucial importance during the examination: CT, MRI and PET scans and other tests. Almost all spinal operations are performed using minimally invasive surgical techniques, which significantly shortens the postoperative recovery period. Surgical procedures are performed in operating rooms equipped with the latest technology: specialists operate on patients using innovative surgical microscopes, intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring systems, the O-Arm neuronavigation system, the 3D C-Arm device, and other technologies.
