Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery in Israel specializes in the surgical treatment of pathologies of the central nervous system (CNS). The delicate nature of treating diseases of the CNS requires qualified, specialized neurosurgeons, integrated with cutting-edge medical technology, all aimed for the patient’s full recuperation.

 Neurological diseases

Pituitary adenoma | Spinal hernia Astrocytoma | Back pain – syndrome “horse’s tail» | recovery of peripheral nerves | Pituitary tumors  | Brain tumors | Spinal cord tumor

Israel is known for its  highest level of neurosurgeons. Neurosurgeons cope with diseases such as pituitary adenoma, Astrocytoma, recovery of peripheral nerves, and so on.

Treatment of these diseases is possible in Israel:

• Full or partial paralysis of the peripheral nerve as a result of a variety of injuries: microsurgical reconstruction of peripheral nerves
• Full or partial paralysis of the brachial plexus due to various injuries, as well as in the case of birth injury: microsurgical reconstruction of peripheral nerves
• Microsurgical selection of adhesions and neurolysis root of horse tail with spinal cord syndrome “horse’s tail”
• Microsurgical treatment of congenital spinal pathologies
• Treatment of carpal tunnel (tunnel) syndrome
• Progressive methods of treatment of spinal hernias
• Surgical treatment of epilepsy
• Arterial aneurysms of cerebral vessels
• Arteriovenous malformation
• Brain Tumor
• Hydrocephalus
• hypophyseal adenoma
• Spinal cord tumor
• neurofibromatosis
• Hemorrhagic stroke
• Ischemic stroke
• Traumatic intracranial hematoma
• The defects of the skull bones
• Diagnostics in Neurosurgery
• From the proposed localization of the lesion and the symptoms of the disease depends on the rational choice of survey methods.
• Lumbar puncture
• Computed tomography – makes it possible to diagnose the following types of losses: hydrocephalus, atrophy of the cerebral cortex, the brain displacement struture tumors and other volumetric processes
• Magnetic resonance imaging – gives an image of neural structures with the highest resolution in the absence of the risk of complications for the patient. When using contrast agents increases the diagnostic value
• Echoencephalography – graphical display of the ultrasonic waves reflected from investigated brain regions. The method is used directly at the bedside of a patient in the diagnosis of hemorrhage and hydrocephalus in children up to 2 years
• Electroencephalography – Check the electrical activity of the brain that allows you to detect violations of activity in epilepsy, sleep disorders, various encephalopathies
• Positron emission tomography – provides important information on brain tumors, stroke, epilepsy
• Cerebral angiography – X-ray technique that uses contrast agents for imaging of arterial and venous vessels of the brain
• Doppler Ultrasound scan – to diagnose bundle, stenosis, occlusion, etc. carotid arteries.
• Myelography – X-ray examination of the spinal cord with contrast. It allows you to diagnose herniated disc, tumors of the spinal canal.
• Big list of laboratory analyzes.
