Brain surgery

The Neurosurgery Division provides comprehensive care for brain pathologies, drawing on multidisciplinary expertise and cutting-edge technologies. Brain surgery is organized into various specialties, each benefiting from highly specialized consultations provided by experts in the field.

• Vascular Neurosurgery : This specialty treats disorders of the cerebral blood vessels, such as aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations. A joint multidisciplinary consultation with interventional neuroradiologists is offered for optimal care.
   

• Tumor Neurosurgery : The division's neurosurgeons specialize in the removal of brain and skull base tumors, collaborating closely with other disciplines to ensure comprehensive patient care. A joint consultation is established with the teams of the Neuro-Oncology Unit.
   

• Epilepsy Neurosurgery : For individuals suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy, specific surgical procedures are performed to reduce or eliminate seizures, thus improving their quality of life.
   

• Pituitary Neurosurgery : This subspecialty focuses on pathologies of the pituitary gland, an endocrine gland located at the base of the brain, requiring a delicate surgical approach.
   

• Hydrocephalic Neurosurgery : Disorders related to excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid are treated with procedures aimed at restoring normal fluid circulation, particularly in individuals with hydrocephalus.
   

• Traumatic Brain Injury : The division is also involved in the management of head injuries, providing rapid and effective interventions to minimize neurological sequelae.
   

• Functional Neurosurgery : This specialty encompasses procedures aimed at treating functional neurological disorders, such as deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease, which significantly improves patient symptoms.
   

• Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Mapping : The division uses advanced brain mapping techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, to precisely plan surgical procedures and preserve essential neurological functions.
