Advanced Treatments

Microscopic surgery. High-magnification surgical microscopes that allow surgeons to see deep details and nerves clearly, increasing safety
Endoscopic surgery. Minimally invasive surgery using a high-resolution scope for deep areas, suitable for hydrocephalus and pituitary tumors
Intravascular / Embolization coiling of aneurysms (AVMs). For treating ruptured aneurysms or AVMs. The principle of treatment is to cut off the blood flow from entering the cerebral aneurysm cushion by the following principles:
- Surgery to clamp a brain aneurysm (Microsurgical Clipping)
- Inserting the wire into the blood vessel and releasing the coil into the cerebral aneurysm.
- Intravascular thrombectomy of cerebral vessels, a treatment for ischemic and thromboembolic strokes by inserting a catheter through the aorta with a coil in the groin until the blockage occurs. Then, removing the clogged blood clot from the cerebral artery to open the vascular hole without major surgery.
Bypass of Cerebral Vessels. Used for patients with cerebral ischemia to remove a blood clot from the brain with cerebrovascular bypass surgery and to improve blood flow to the brain

New innovations in brain and nervous system rejuvenation

This is an innovative approach to neurological care that has earned widespread medical recognition as a non-invasive, drug-free alternative. At our neurology center, TMS and tDCS treatments are highly effective for a range of conditions. These include helping stroke patients recover from limb weakness, paralysis, or speech and communication difficulties caused by vascular blockages.

Additionally, our nervous system specialist team utilizes these technologies to support patients dealing with chronic migraines, memory decline from Alzheimer’s, and even treatment-resistant depression, where medication has not shown results after a year of use. It is also a powerful tool for managing various types of brain-related pain.
