Also, operations for conditions of the vertebral canal such as space occupying lesions of the spinal cord, neurinomas, vascular malformations of the spinal cord, degenerative conditions of the intervertebral discs of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, are performed with classic and also modern methods (endoscopic).

Special neurosurgical operations are also performed, such as microvascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve as well as the application of stereotactic surgical procedures, for diagnostic purposes (biopsies).

  • Treatment of syringomyelic cysts
