The Department of Neurosurgery offers surgical treatment of all diseases related with the brain and spine (or the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system). The nervous system may be the most complicated and intricate part of the body. Therefore, it is critical for us to acquire knowledge and expertise beyond patients’ expectations and to constantly update our new techniques. SMC’s Department of Neurosurgery is among the elites of the nation’s hospitals in spite of its relatively short history, and a series of epoch-making operations has been the hallmark of our clinical excellence. The Department of Neurosurgery takes a multidisciplinary approach for each case to provide optimal treatment for brain tumor, spinal nerve disease, cerebrovascular disease, pediatric neurosurgery, functional brain disease and Gamma Knife surgery.
