The Department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital HM Monteprincipe Madrid offers the full range of modern surgical treatment of diseases of the nervous system. The department's neurosurgeons have rich experience and technical options for both simple routine and especially complex interventions on the brain and spinal cord. To achieve the best treatment results, there is maintained productive cooperation with the specialists in oncology, neurology and interventional neuroradiology. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Jorge Diamantopoulos Fernández.
The rich experience of the department's neurosurgeons and the progressive operating rooms allow for the interventions of varying degrees of complexity in brain tumors, pituitary tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, vascular malformations, functional neurological disorders, etc.
The state-of-art navigation systems and computer equipment in the department allow the surgeons to perform the most accurate manipulations, while preserving healthy tissue and vital functions of the nervous system. An impressive amount of money is allocated annually for updating medical equipment, so the patients receive high-quality treatment at the highest level. The department's medical staff regularly undergo advanced training courses, take part in medical conferences and congresses, thanks to which they get acquainted with the experience of colleagues and share their achievements.
The department is the first medical complex in Madrid and the second at the national level, which has PoleStar N30 iMRI with the StealthStation i7 integrated browser for intraoperative MRI. These integrated technologies, which are available only in four other European clinics and in nine clinics around the world, allow the department to hold leading positions in neuro-oncology in the European medical arena.
The use of PoleStar N30 iMRI is important when removing brain and spinal tumors. The research results demonstrate that when using this technology, the degree of tumor resection reaches 96% as compared to 68% using conventional methods. The frequency of repeated operations in tumor recurrence decreased by 35%-60% (depending on the type of tumor). This is especially important because the totality of tumor resection is the most significant prognostic factor in the duration and quality of life. The main advantages of the intraoperative tomography include real-time resection control, preservation of healthy tissues and nerve structures, as well as control of the displacement of brain structures during surgery.
The key areas of the department's clinical practice include:
