About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Tuebingen offers the diagnostics and surgical treatment of all diseases of the nervous system. The department has the expert competence in the field of complex neurosurgical interventions and is one of the leading surgery centers for skull basis, pituitary, and peripheral nerve interventions. The department specializes in pediatric neurosurgery, vascular neurosurgery, surgery for the brain tumors and complex interventions on the spinal cord. The department is headed by an advanced surgeon with an impeccable reputation, Prof. Dr. med. Marcos Tatagiba.
One of the main focuses of the department is the diagnostics and treatment of all types of brain tumors. These include primary neuroepithelial brain tumors (diffuse gliomas, neuronal, and neuroglial tumors), cranial nerve tumors (for example, such nerve sheath tumors as vestibular schwannoma), brain meninges tumors (for example, meningiomas), lymphomas, germ cell tumors, as well as secondary tumors (metastases). The treatment regimen is determined depending on the histological type of the tumor, age of the patient, the neurological condition before the operation, and a number of other factors. The treatment is carried out in accordance with the current international requirements and protocols.
The department is the recognized Pediatric Neurosurgery Center. Often, the interdisciplinary collaboration is required for the successful treatment of pediatric neurosurgical pathologies. The advantage of the department is the proximity with the Pediatric Clinic and other specialized departments, which ensures prompt consultations from the necessary specialists and develops comprehensive treatment regimens. Pediatric neurosurgery deals with the surgical treatment of tumors, vascular malformations, infectious lesions (brain, spinal cord, and nerves), other malformations of the brain/spinal cord, spine, impaired cerebrospinal fluid circulation, epilepsy, etc. in children and adolescents under the age of 18.
