Endoscope
With the endoscope we can use a special fiber optic microcamera to see inside the tissues and direct special tools for biopsies and to investigate anatomical abnormalities, opening new drainage channels of the cerebrospinal fluid (eg 3rd ventriculostomy), opening of brain cysts , removal of pituitary tumours, removal of cerebral hematomas, and even the surgical […]
Neuronavigation
Imagine a coordinate system similar to that of Earth, where every point on the patient’s skull and brain or spine is mapped. Using modern computers, we direct with special precision the special tools in the affected area and perform operations such as biopsies or removal of tumors or placement of spinal fusion materials, without causing […]
Radiosurgery
This method can be used to treat many brain tumors (pituitary, acoustic neuromas, some metastases, as well as some vascular malformations, trigeminal neuralgia and other diseases. New techniques are being developed daily, relieving patients who can thus avoid open surgery, such as craniotomies, in selected cases.
Microsurgery
Just like other specialties, modern Neurosurgery often requires the use of a microscope to properly treat conditions such as slipped disk in the waist and neck, surgery for vascular lesions of the brain (aneurysms, vascular malformations, tumors), and spinal cord surgery. The use of a surgical microscope is now necessary in every […]
Spinal cord injuries
Spondylolisthesis, Spine Fractures Percutaneous spinal fusion, immediate mobilization, without substantial post-operative pain With the new technique of Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery, fractures that need surgical stabilization become simpler and less painful. With very small incisions, similar to a laparoscopic operation, the necessary stabilization materials are placed, without substantial blood loss, and the patient is discharged […]
