AREAS OF SPECIALISATION
NEURO ONCOLOGY
Deals with malignant and benign tumours in the brain, skull, skull base, spine, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
SKULL BASE SURGERY
Surgery for lesions and tumours in hard-to-reach area of the base of the skull. Removal of lesions requires specialist skillset and often a multidisciplinary approach.
STEREOTACTIC SURGERY
This type of surgery is needed to stimulate or deactivate some parts of the brain that are causing a problem. The lesion is removed with the assistance of image guidance for the safe removal of as much abnormal tissue as possible while leaving normal, healthy brain relatively intact.
STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY
This is not surgery in the traditional sense of the word as there is no incision. It uses many precisely focused radiation beams and 3D imaging to target high doses of radiation to the affected area with minimal impact on the surrounding healthy tissue.
PEDIATRIC NEUROSURGERY
Treatment and management of brain tumours, nervous system disorders and deformities in the head and spinal cord in children.
SPINE SURGERY
Surgery or non-invasive procedures to correct abnormalities or deformities in the spinal column.
VASCULAR SURGERY
Open surgeries and minimally-invasive procedures that treat a range of blood vessel problems. These include aortic aneurysms, peripheral artery disease, carotid artery disease and chronic venous insufficiency.
PERIPHERAL NERVE SURGERY
Whether addressing a compression, traumatic injury or nerve tumour, peripheral nerve surgery demands high skill and expertise — along with finely-tuned cooperation with other specialists.
PITUITARY TUMOUR SURGERY
Surgery is often the main treatment for people with pituitary tumors. The goal is to take out all of the tumor. In some cases, chemotherapy, certain medicines, or radiation may be used before surgery. This is done to shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove.
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES
Treatment for traumatic brain injuries can vary widely – from rest and recovery to neurosurgery – depending on how severe the injury is and the area of the brain that was injured.
