Neuronavigation allows the computer assisted transmission of image data onto the operating area to precisely locate tumours and important brain areas, enabling doctors to remove as little brain tissue as possible. The ukb Neurosurgery Clinic uses the most state-of-the-art operative and microscopic technology for neuro- and intraoperative surgery. Our technology allows for the almost complete removal of the tumour while sparing the healthy tissue surrounding it. With fast-growing tumours, the tumour can be treated with chemotherapy after resection.

Hydrocephalus can result from accidents, cerebral haemorrhage, meningitis, but may also arise from no apparent cause. Our Clinic for Neurosurgery focuses on the treatment of all forms of hydrocephalus, that is, the pathological extension of the cerebrospinal fluid chambers.
There are numerous and divergent symptoms for hydrocephalus. Some begin in the body, as with a change in the patient’s normal gait, incontinence, or, with male patients, swelling of the prostate; while others are manifest as the symptoms of early-onset senility: short-term memory loss and loss of orientation. Yet other symptoms resemble those of migraines: headaches, dizziness.

Working closely with the neurosurgery, neurology, neuroradiology and intensive medicine clinics, the Neurovascular Centre deals with the diagnosis and therapy of sometimes life-threatening vascular-related diseases in the brain. This include, but are not limited to, cerebral artery aneurysms, vascular malformations, vascular tumours, strokes, and rare vascular diseases. We use the widest scope of conservative or innovative operative methods possible to respond to the particular needs of each individual patient.

In the Clinic for Neurosurgery, we offer the entire spectrum of operative therapy for degenerative spinal cord diseases. It is here essential to make the right diagnostic investigations to ensure the correct and successful treatment of the disease. This is why we have many subdivisions in our clinic specific to the treatment of the disease afflicting the patient (e.g. percutaneous decompressor, microsurgical nucleotomy and sequestrectomy, spinal stenosis, vertebral slippage, etc.).
