What is neurosurgery?
Neurosurgery is concerned with the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the nervous system. We repair structures affected by congenital and traumatic causes by undertaking state-of-the-art surgery for brain aneurysms or skin and bone defects caused by head trauma. Neurosurgeons are experts at removing accumulated tissues and evacuating haemorrhages or cerebral abscesses.
Neurosurgery deals with recovering the structure and functionality of the affected area with specific treatments for each case and patient.
Which patients is it for?
The neurosurgery team offers support to patients suffering from nervous system disorders requiring surgical treatment such as congenital anomalies, tumours, vascular disorders, infections, trauma, hydrocephalus, drug-resistant epilepsy, disc hernias and other conditions of the spine.
