Neurosurgical departments occupy a significant part in the structure of Samsung Clinic. Patients from all over the world travel to neurosurgery centers for quality treatment and postoperative care.
Samsung Clinic has a number of features. This is why patients choose them:
During surgery, neuromonitoring is used to analyze the neurological condition of patients in real-time to minimize postoperative complications.
In addition to clinical practice, basic research is being carried out on the treatment of brain tumors, the results of which are published in prestigious scientific journals.
The department uses the Gamma Knife to effectively treat tumors that cannot be surgically removed. The device is used after surgery if additional treatment is required. With the introduction of state-of-the-art Perfexion equipment in 2010, even more effective treatments are possible. At the moment, there are two ICON Gamma Knife installations in the hospital.
The department has a 24-hour response system for the treatment of acute strokes.
More than 200 microvascular decompression procedures are performed for functional disorders of the brain.
For cerebrovascular diseases, more than 600 procedures per year are performed for patients with hemorrhagic and ischemic pathologies. The operation includes circumcision of cerebral aneurysms, direct or indirect vascular anastomosis, and endovascular coil embolization.
Real-time intraoperative monitoring is used during an operation for a brain aneurysm.
