Advantages of the department and technology

Advantages of the pediatric neurosurgery department of the Institute of Neurosurgery

  • Ukraine’s largest experience in children’s neurosurgery – since the establishment of the department in 1950
  • Thousands of successfully treated patients from all over Ukraine and other countries
  • Professional and experienced neurosurgeons< /li>
  • Advanced technical equipment
  • Modern methods and treatment protocols
  • Use of the latest technologies
  • A large list of pathologies we treat
  • li>Education and internship based on the department of many young specialists
  • Our own experience multiplied by high technologies and modern knowledge allows us to cover the largest spectrum of pediatric neurosurgical pathology and provides the best treatment results
  • Cooperation with charitable foundations provides assistance to children from low-income families, orphans
  • Possibility of conducting remote online consultations
  • Conferences are constantly organized on the basis of the department, the Ukrainian Association of Children’s Neurosurgeons was created and the nation is being trained protocols for the treatment of children with neurosurgical pathology

The equipment of our department uses technologies that meet all the requirements of providing neurosurgical care to children at the world level:

  • Two modern microscopes that allow performing the most complex microsurgical interventions on the brain and spinal cord.
  • Endoscopic equipment with several interchangeable endoscopes for various types of minimally invasive interventions
  • Preoperative and intraoperative neuronavigation and ultrasound navigation for the most accurate calculations
  • Possibility of intraoperative neuromonitoring, which ensures control of vital brain functions and reduces the risk of postoperative disability
  • Use of modern coagulation and aspiration devices to reduce bleeding during surgery
  • Ultrasonic destructor for maximum and safe removal of tumors
  • Cell saver devices that allow collecting, purifying and transfusing patients’ own blood during surgery without using donor blood
  • Using electric craniotomes and Mectron piezo apparatus for dissection of skull bones for reconstructive cranioplasty patients with craniosynostosis and skull bone defects
