神经外科

神经外科手术治疗影响大脑和脊髓的疾病,即,中枢和外周神经系统。由于这些神经系统是非常复杂和微妙,神经外科需要比其他专业更多的专业知识,而且经常使用最先进的设备。我们每年实施超过3500例脑肿瘤、脑血管疾病、脊髓疾病、小儿神经系统疾病和功能性脑疾病手术。在脑肿瘤领域,超过20000位门诊病人访问我们的科室,而且我们每年实施超过1500例手术。我们使用最新的设备寻求最安全最有效的方法,如神经导航系统和神经内窥镜。我们最近已经安装了一台专用于手术室的术中CT设备,并有效地使用它以有一个更准确的手术方式及预防术后并发症。

在手术过程中,我们使用神经监测以实时监测患者的神经系统状况,尽量减少术后并发症。除了我们的临床实践外,我们正在开展脑肿瘤治疗的基础研究,并在有声望的学术期刊上发表成果。我们使用伽玛刀来有效治疗不能手术切除的肿瘤,或遇手术后需要额外的治疗,并且由于在2010年引进先进的Perfexion™设备,更有效的治疗已经成为可能。对于脑血管疾病,我们每年为出血性和缺血性脑血管疾病的患者实施超过600例手术。该手术包括脑动脉瘤夹闭、直接或间接血管吻合以及血管内线圈栓塞手术。

在脑动脉瘤手术期间,我们采用手术内实时、运动诱发电位/体感诱发电位监测,并保持严重并发症的发生,如小于1%的手术后瘫痪,即使对于一个全球性的标准这也是非常低的。我们建立了一个用于治疗急性中风的24小时响应系统,并与神经内科、放射科和康复科合作以提供最好的以病人为中心的医疗保健。我们每年实施超过500例脊神经疾病手术,不仅包括椎间盘切除减压、植骨融合而且还包括高难度的手术,如脊柱肿瘤。对于功能性脑功能紊乱,我们每年实施超过200例面肌痉挛和三叉神经痛微血管减压手术,治愈率超过95%,并在100多例癫痫与脑深部电刺激手术中保持优良的治疗效果以控制癫痫发作,增强运动功能。
