In our clinic, interdisciplinary diagnostics and treatment of neurosurgical diseases are performed according to the latest medical science and technology.
Interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity play a pioneering role in our diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and enable us to better achieve our therapeutic goals.
Cooperation with other disciplines is frequently essential for the treatment of patients with often complex neurosurgical diseases. In many cases, close coordination with the Division of Oncology and the Department of Radiation Oncology is a necessary part of follow-up treatment and further therapy for oncological patients. The same applies to paediatric patients. When it comes to planning and performing operations on the skull base, our department must also discuss surgical procedures with our colleagues from the Department of Oral an Maxillofacial Surgery and/or the Department of Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases, and in some cases, we go on to conduct the surgical intervention together.
For the planning and discussion of multimodal treatment options for cerebrovascular and neurological diseases, such as epilepsy, there is an intensive exchange with the University Department of Neurology, and the Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-guided Therapy (Neuroradiology) is always involved in the analysis of imaging procedures.
Our patients are treated and cared for in close cooperation with physicians and specialists from various medical fields, whereby the already established Interdisciplinary Boards play a key role.
In addition to the boards organised by the Department of Neurosurgery, doctors from our department also participate in numerous interdis- ciplinary boards overseen by other departments. The boards also serve an important didactic role by providing medical students and physicians-in-training the opportunity to learn about the full spectrum and treatment options for complex neurosurgical conditions.
The establishment of the multidisciplinary boards has ensured that our patients receive individualized therapy at the earliest possible stage, based on the latest multidisciplinary research.
