Cerebrovascular surgery
Neuroscience Center neurosurgeons have access to the latest technology for all neurological surgical procedures.
Among them are intraoperative MRI, the Gamma Knife and the Monteris AutoLITT MRI-guided laser probe
We’ve also performed the world's first magnetic surgery, known as the Magnetic Surgery System (MSS), a safer way of manipulating surgical tools within the brain.
This neurosurgical technique is used for finding and removing brain tumors, while keeping nearby structures and tissues unharmed.
Neurosurgery, or neurological surgery, is the medical specialty concerned
with the prevention, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders
which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain,
spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and cerebrovascular system.
In different countries, there are different requirements for an individual to
legally practice neurosurgery, and there are varying methods through which they
must be educated. In most countries, neurosurgeon training requires a minimum
period of seven years after graduating from medical school.[citation needed]
