Key Department Guide

Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery primarily diagnoses and treats traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, spinal cord diseases, functional neurosurgical disorders, and congenital malformations. Treatments include microsurgery, endoscopic surgery, endovascular therapy, stereotactic surgery, and neuromodulation. Timely surgical evaluation may improve prognosis in cases of intracranial hemorrhage, brain herniation risk, aneurysm rupture, spinal cord compression, and refractory epilepsy. Preoperative assessment requires comprehensive evaluation of lesion location, neurological function, comorbidities, and anesthesia risks. Postoperative monitoring focuses on intracranial pressure, hemorrhage, infection, epilepsy, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and neurological function recovery. For elderly patients, those with multiple comorbidities, or patients with advanced cancer, individualized decision-making should be based on a combination of tumor biological behavior and quality-of-life goals.
