- Functional navigation helps the team map the brain in real time.
- Motor pathway monitoring protects the patient's movement and physical abilities.
- Intraoperative imaging using MRI or CT allows the doctor to check progress during surgery.
- Electron microscope surgery provides high magnification for precise tissue separation.
- Three-dimensional planning helps the team visualize the tumor before the first incision.
Specialized Brain Tumor Center
The hospital performs 1,000+ neurosurgeries every year within its dedicated unit. This center holds certifications from the German Cancer Society (DKG) and TÜV Rheinland. The medical team collaborates with specialists from hospitals in Boston and Cleveland to share knowledge on brain tumor care.

After the surgery, the hospital uses early MRI follow-up scans to confirm the success of the resection.
