Neurosurgery

Diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system.

Department Overview

The Department of Neurosurgery provides diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system.

The department treats conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and spine, using modern surgical techniques and a multidisciplinary approach.

The department uses advanced methods for precise assessment, including:

– Neurosurgical examination – clinical assessment of neurological symptom
– Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – detailed visualization of the brain and spine
– Computed tomography (CT) – rapid diagnosis in acute conditions
– Neurophysiological examinations – assessment of nerve function
– Laboratory analyses – additional evaluation prior to intervention

Diseases and Conditions

The department diagnoses and treats:

  • Brain tumors
    benign and malignant lesions requiring surgical treatment
  • Spinal cord tumors
    lesions affecting neurological function
  • Disc herniation
    nerve compression causing pain and limited mobility
  • Spinal stenosis
    narrowing of the spinal canal with neurological symptoms
  • Degenerative spinal diseases
    conditions related to age-related and degenerative changes
  • Spinal deformities
    scoliosis and other spinal curvatures
  • Brain and spinal injuries
    acute conditions requiring urgent treatment
  • Aneurysms and vascular malformations
    abnormalities of the blood vessels in the brain
  • Hydrocephalus
    impaired circulation of cerebrospinal fluid
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
    compression of a peripheral nerve
  • Other peripheral nerve disorders
    conditions affecting movement and sensation

Treatments

Removal of benign and malignant brain tumors with the goal of maximum tumor resection while preserving neurological function. Depending on the location and type of the tumor, the procedure is planned using advanced imaging and microsurgical techniques.

Surgical treatment of disc herniation, spinal canal stenosis, degenerative changes, tumors, and other diseases of the spine. The goal of the procedure is to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, reduce pain, and improve mobility.

Modern surgical techniques performed through smaller incisions, resulting in less tissue damage, reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery. These procedures are most commonly used in selected cases of disc herniation and spinal stenosis.

Surgical treatment of instability, fractures, deformities, and degenerative spinal conditions using screws, rods, implants, and other stabilization systems. The procedure restores spinal stability and prevents further neurological damage.

Treatment of aneurysms of the brain blood vessels in order to prevent rupture, bleeding, and serious complications. Depending on the condition, treatment may include microsurgical clipping or an endovascular approach in collaboration with other specialists.

Placement of a shunt system to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid and reduce pressure in the brain. The procedure is performed in both children and adults with hydrocephalus.

Treatment of compression, injuries, and damage to peripheral nerves through decompression, reconstruction, or repair. It is used in conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve injuries, and other disorders of the peripheral nervous system.

Surgical stabilization and protection of the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system in patients with head injuries, spinal trauma, fractures, or bleeding. Emergency neurosurgical procedures are performed when necessary to prevent permanent neurological damage.

Technology and Equipment

  • Modern operating theatres
    Fully equipped neurosurgical operating rooms designed for the safe performance of complex brain and spinal procedures. The theatres provide a sterile environment, advanced surgical systems, and integrated imaging support.
  • MRI and CT diagnostics
    High-resolution imaging of the brain, spine, blood vessels, and surrounding structures. These methods are essential for diagnosis, surgical planning, and postoperative follow-up.
  • Microsurgical equipment
    Advanced surgical microscopes and microsurgical instruments that enable extremely precise work on delicate structures such as the brain, spinal cord, blood vessels, and nerves, with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
  • Neurophysiological monitoring
    Continuous monitoring of the function of the nerves and spinal cord during surgery. This technology enables the team to protect important neurological structures and reduce the risk of complications.
