Brain surgery
Welcome to the future

NS21 has the experience and technology to treat any surgical condition of the brain and its annexes:
- Benign tumors. Surgical treatment of benign lesions such as pituitary adenomas, neurinomas, or meningiomas. In benign tumors, surgery can be curative if a complete removal of the tumor is achieved. Thanks to the use of neuronavigation or intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, our surgeries are safer and more effective, achieving greater degrees of tumor resection.
- Malignant tumors. Like gliomas or metastases. In these cases, surgery per se is not curative but can contribute to a great extent patient prognosis. The use of fluorescence in the surgical treatment of gliomas allows for removing parts of the tumor not visible to the human eye. Vithas Hospital has this technology.
- Hydrocephalus and other CSF disorders. (idiopathic intracranial hypertension, arachnoid cysts ...). The management of hydrocephalus is often complex, both diagnosis and treatment. In Neurosalus21, intracranial pressure monitoring studies of complex cases are carried out, which allows a for right diagnosis as well as the selection of the best type of valve for its treatment. We are also experts in the management of adult chronic hydrocephalus.
- Trigeminal neuralgia. We perform microvascular decompressions of this nerve when it is indicated, as well as radiofrequency treatments.
- Chiari malformation. Surgery is indicated in certain circumstances in this disease. We have a broad experience in its management. Careful surgical treatment is essential to avoid complications.
- Vascular malformations, such as cavernomas, aneurysms, dural fistulas, or arteriovenous malformations. We have a state-of-the-art microscope equipped with infrared light that allows videoangiography, in addition to intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.
- Urgent pathology: hemorrhages, infections and traumatic brain injuries
