Advanced neurosurgical treatments

We treat adult patients with neurological and neurovascular disorders that require the highest level of surgical expertise, combining precision techniques, multidisciplinary collaboration, and individualized treatment planning to achieve the best possible outcomes.

What we treat

Our neurosurgical program covers a broad spectrum of conditions, including brain and spinal tumors, vascular disorders, spinal diseases, and functional neurological disorders.

Our capabilities

We offer a comprehensive range of advanced treatments, tailored to each patient's diagnosis and individual needs:

• Brain tumor surgery: including complex skull base tumors, using both microsurgical and advanced endoscopic approaches
• Gamma Knife radiosurgery: a precise, non-invasive treatment delivering focused radiation to targeted areas of the brain, for tumors and selected neurological and vascular conditions
• Neurovascular surgery: open vascular microsurgery and endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and intracranial bypass surgery
• Advanced spinal surgery: covering both intradural and extradural conditions, including spontaneous intracranial hypotension
  Vestibular schwannoma treatment — using both microsurgery and Gamma Knife techniques
• Functional neurosurgery: deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, and dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) lesioning for chronic pain conditions

A multidisciplinary approach

Every complex case is evaluated in a dedicated multidisciplinary conference, where neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, neurologists, and other specialists collaborate to determine the most appropriate and evidence-based treatment. This team-based model ensures that each patient receives a carefully considered, individualized care plan.
