Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all conditions of neurosurgical interest (oncological, vascular, malformative and traumatic).
In particular, Ospedale San Raffaele is a national and international reference center for the treatment of pituitary and skull base tumors, vascular and spinal pathologies, as well as pathologies of the pediatric age.
Istituto Ortopedico Galeazzi is one of the international reference centers for the treatment of brain lesions with brain mapping techniques and the first center in Italy for DBS-Deep Brain Stimulation. It also deals with the surgical treatment of brain lesions associated with epilepsy and drug-resistant epilepsy.
To offer optimal treatment, patients are followed by a multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, neuroradiologists, neurophthalmologists, neurologists, neuropsychologists, otolaryngologists and radiotherapists.
