Building Organizational Structure

Since 1984, the University Department of Neurosurgery, planned by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Koos, has been located in its own building complex within the “Kliniken am Südgarten” on the grounds of University Hospital Vienna and MedUni Vienna. All organisational units of the Department of Neurosurgery are spread across eight levels:

Level 4

A complete radiosurgical Gamma Knife treatment unit is located here. In addition to the Treatment Room (OP6) and the Planning Room, there is a separate reception desk and the Gamma Knife Outpatient Clinic.

Level 5
