Neurosurgical consultation

The detailed consultation includes a clinical-neurosurgical examination, the assessment of your radiological images, the discussion of the medical findings as well as the possible options of therapy – regarding the surgical indication, conservative therapies or adjuvant therapies (radiation, gamma knife, chemotherapy, proton radiation etc.).

 

In particular, the risk assessment of various methods is explained and possible complications and consequential damages are discussed in detail.

 

For any further necessary diagnostics, adjuvant therapies or for physiotherapy, I can refer you to or help you making appointments.

>> Radiological imaging including radiotherapy (gamma knife,
     proton beam therapy/MedAustron)

>> (Orthopedic) stabilisation of the spine

     endocrinology
