Prof. Dr. med. Christian Strauss
Department of Neurosurgery
Specialized in: neurosurgery About the Department of Neurosurgery at University Hospital Halle (Saale)
The Department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) offers the full range of diagnostics and surgical treatment of diseases of the nervous system. All operating rooms are equipped with the cutting-edge technology, which provides the most reliable and effective treatment of neurosurgical pathology. The department employs competent neurosurgeons with rich clinical experience and deep expert knowledge, who have in their arsenal many modern therapeutic methods. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Christian Strauss.
The very latest neuromonitoring system ("Hallenser Ampel") is widely used in the department’s clinical practice. It has the function of real-time EMG analysis during surgery. Thus, the surgeon can see the reaction of the nervous system to each of his manipulations and is able to eliminate the wrong steps, which may lead to the development of a neurological deficit. The structure of this system resembles the work of a traffic light. During the manipulations in the "green zone", the doctor will not harm the nervous system, while moving into the "yellow zone", his actions can cause only minor disturbances, which will recover within a few weeks or months after surgery. However, when the manipulations go into the "red zone", the surgeon should respond as quickly as possible and change tactics in order to avoid irreversible functional damage. This is an internationally unique automated neuromonitoring system, which is an innovation in neurosurgery.
The service range of the department includes:
- Surgery to treat acoustic neuromas
- Skull base tumor surgery
- Brain and spinal cord tumor surgery
- Spinal stenosis surgery
- Surgical treatment of epilepsy
- Peripheral nerve surgery
- Surgical treatment of intervertebral disc diseases
- Surgical treatment of severe traumatic brain injuries
- Vascular neurosurgery
- Pituitary surgery
- Neuronavigation surgery ("Hallenser Ampel" innovative system)
- Other surgical services
