Treatment of Neural Tumor
1. Minimally invasive surgery for the hypophysoma under the auxiliary navigation endoscope -just once minimally invasive surgery without craniotomy.
Nowadays, by scientific introduction and continuous innovation, operation without craniotomy can reach good effect which can't imagine in the past. At present, such operation exceeds 100 cases per year and has reached the domestic leading level.
2. Individualized diagnosis and treatment of glioma- care for your health with the cutting-edge technology.
Glioma is the most dangerous tumor that seriously affects people's health. The individualized diagnosis and treatment of the deep glioma is a traditional strength of our department. We make individualized treatment to get the best treatment effect by combining modern cutting-edge technology such as drug-resistant molecular detection and radion implantation. Now it receives more 200 cases of glioma diagnosis and treatment each year, which achieves good effect.
3. Minimally invasive operation for acoustic neuroma - lead a positive life.
Acoustic neuroma, cerebellopontine angle meningioma, prosopalgia and prosopospasm are the most common diseases at the cerebellopontine angle area. By minimally invasive approach to rapidly and effectively cure these diseases, the patients can not only quickly recover (only 10 days of hospital stay on average) but also enjoy high security. For the acoustic neuroma which is difficult to be processed, the retention rate of facial nerve reaches to 99% when the entire tumor is removed.
4. Minimally invasive operation for skull base meningioma and tumor at midline of skull base - Internationally cutting-edge operation
Skull base meningioma and tumor at midline of skull base are usually closely related to the important intracranial nerves and vessels. Because of the difficulty in operation exposure, total tumor removal and function preservation, it is one of most challenging fields in the classic neurosurgery. Every step of operation is under control by combining the advanced neuroimaging and surgical navigation technology. It improves the retention rate of important structure and total tumor removal rate and reduces unnecessary exposure to reach the minimally invasive purpose, which maintains at the domestic leading level.
Treatment of spinal diseases
1. Occipito-cervical deformity
Occipito-cervical deformity usually combines many types of malformation, such as tonsillar herniation malformation complicated with platybasia and spinal compression caused by basilar invagination and atlantoaxial dislocation. Individualized minimally invasive treatment plan is applied depending on the compression direction by a series of technology including tumor and/or lesion excision, posterior cranial fossa expansion, occipitocervical fusion, dislocation and restoration so as to recover the neurological function of the patient. Because of the high risk and difficulty of the technology, many large hospitals don't apply it so that many patients from the Yangtze River delta area come to our hospital to receive treatment.
2. Intraspinal tumor
Spinal and intraspinal tumors are common strengths of our department. The neurogenic tumor coming from the spinal cord and nerve often compress the spinal cord and cause nerve root pain, numbness and inability of one side limbs, fecal and urinary dysfunction and even paraplegia; spinal edema and decline of neurological function caused by vascular disease such as spinal dural arteriovenous fistula; our department can relieve nerve compression via closing the fistula and removing the tumor by combining microscope, endoscope and/or intervention and minimally invasive technology. Now our department has accumulated rich experience in minimally invasive operation.
3.Minimally invasive treatment of spinal diseases
Protrusion of intervertebral disc always causes front or side compression on the spinal cord. In addition, ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament and facet joint hypertrophy will even further generate cervical spinal stenosis and nerve compression on cervical spinal cord. Based on the individualized operation design plan, we cut in the back, side or front direction and relieve the compression on the spinal cord and nerve while keeping the spine stable by such technical advantages as microscope and endoscope, which improves neurological function and living quality. This is also a common operation of our department.
Cerebrovascular disease
1.Clipping or interventional treatment of arterial aneurysm
Intracranial aneurysm which is called "an intracranial timebomb" has a high death rate once it ruptures. Clipped craniotomy and endovascular embolization are technically complementary. Our department gives full play to the advantages of the two techniques and formulates the best treatment plan depending on the situation of the patients to lower the treatment risk, improve treatment effect and decrease the economic burden for the patients.
2.Intracranial and extracranial bypass surgery for refractory arterial aneurysm
Some complicated intracranial arterial aneurysms that are hard to be processed by interventional embolization or clipped craniotomy usually need to give up the parental artery and perform intracranial and extracranial bypass surgery. We have accumulated rich clinical experience in such field, which guarantees the transplanted vessels unblocked and improves the operation effect.
3.Surgical + interventional treatment of vascular malformation
Intracranial vascular malformation is one of the primary factors that cause spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage of the adolescent. Our department reduces the surgical risk and raises the cure rate and clinical effect by operation and interventional embolization.
4.Intracranial and extracranial synangiosis for moyamoya disease
Moyamoya disease is a chronic and progressive intracranial ischemic disease. As the neonatal vessels are easy to bleed, the patients often have cerebral ischemia or cerebral hemorrhage symptom. The prognosis will not be good if there is no surgical intervention. The method applied by our department is clinically recognized the most. We introduce the blood from the extracranial temporalis, dura mater and superficial temporal artery to inside of the cranium, which obviously improves the prognosis of the patients.
5. Internal carotid endarterectomy and stent implantation
The intracranial ischemia caused by carotid artery stenosis is an important disease threating the health of the aged. Both the internal carotid endarterectomy and stent implantation are effective treatment methods internationally recognized. They are two common operations of our department at present.
