Neurosurgeons of Shaare Zedek master complex technologies that require special skill and virtuoso technique. Patients with complex diagnoses successfully undergo treatment and return to their normal lives.
Neurosurgeons at Shaare Zedek perform:
Conscious brain surgery. Doctors monitor the patient’s condition, check reactions, and ask questions so as not to affect particularly important areas of the brain and preserve its functions. This operation is performed for brain tumors, epilepsy, cerebral hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injuries.
Endoscopic interventions using transnasal (through the nose) and transsphenoidal (through a puncture in the bone) access. These operations are performed for craniopharyngiomas, pituitary adenomas, cerebrospinal fluid fistulas, and trigeminal neuralgia.
Catheter procedures on the brain in the treatment of cerebrovascular pathologies: aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations.
Laser operations using the Visualase system for the treatment of epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and removal of brain tumors. The intervention is performed under MRI control through a puncture of up to 3 mm.
