Department of neurosurgery

The neurosurgery department at Teknon Medical Center Barcelona specializes in the modern surgical treatment of central and peripheral nervous system diseases. Modern neurosurgery is undergoing a process of constant improvement in its accuracy, preservation of function and intraoperative control. Therefore, specialists use the latest treatment methods in their practice. During the operations, doctors use optical and endoscopic instruments that allow them to see the surgical field in three dimensions and full colour, with image magnification and high resolution. In addition, neurosurgeons have exceptional experience in fluorescence-guided tumour resection. The surgeon can see the difference between healthy and tumour cells using a special light, thereby avoiding brain damage.

The medical team offers patients high-quality medical care for tumours of the brain and spinal cord, pathologies of the spinal column, and diseases of the peripheral nerves. The department has established a Multidisciplinary Skull Base Unit, where a medical team of neurosurgeons, nasal endoscopists, and head and neck surgeons are involved in the surgical treatment of skull base tumours. The department is also a leader among European clinics in the surgical treatment of epilepsy.
