About the clinic

Brain tumor removal at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, provides high-level neurosurgical care for benign and malignant growths. The hospital holds JCI accreditation, making it the only facility in the Baltic States to meet these international quality standards. Patients benefit from a surgical team that maintains a post-surgery complication rate below 2%.

Advanced Diagnostics and Planning

Success in neurosurgery starts with precise imaging. The hospital uses high-resolution MRI scanners, including 1.5T and 3T models, to map the tumor location. Computed tomography (CT) and X-ray services are also available on-site. These tools help surgeons plan the safest approach to the brain before the operation starts. An in-house certified laboratory provides fast results for all necessary blood work and pathology.

Surgical Expertise in Neurosurgery

The neurosurgery department handles both planned and emergency operations for the brain and spine. Dr. Robert Kvaščevičius, a Doctor of Medical Sciences, and Associate Professor Doc. Kazys Vytautas Ambrozaitis lead the surgical efforts. The facility features four operating rooms equipped for complex nervous system interventions. The medical team focuses on removing as much of the tumor as possible while protecting healthy brain tissue.

Recovery and Intensive Care

After brain surgery, patients move to a dedicated intensive care unit (ICU) that has 10 beds. A team of resuscitologists is available 24/7 to monitor vitals and manage recovery. The hospital provides a high level of personal attention, with at least one nurse assigned to every patient. This constant nursing care helps identify and address any changes in a patient's condition immediately.

On-site Rehabilitation

Recovery continues after the initial healing phase at the hospital's own rehabilitation center. Having this service on-site means patients do not need to travel to a different facility to start physical or cognitive therapy. This structured support helps patients regain strength and function in a familiar environment.
