Expert Neurosurgical Care
The neurosurgery department is led by PD Dr. Ralf Buhl. He has over 20 years of experience and has performed 5,000+ neurosurgeries. PD Dr. Buhl is a specialist in neuro-oncology and a member of the German Cancer Society. He also co-founded the Brain Tumor Research and Treatment Foundation. The department manages a high volume of care, treating 2,000+ patients with complex neurosurgical needs every year.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Transnasal resection allows doctors to reach tumors through the nose without making large incisions in the skull. This approach is often used for pituitary tumors and certain types of brain tumors like meningiomas or glioblastomas. The surgical team uses several tools to improve accuracy during the procedure:
- Endoscopic approach to reach the tumor through natural nasal passages.
- Neuronavigation for real-time tracking during surgery.
- Three-dimensional planning to map the brain before the operation starts.
- CT-guided surgery to help the surgeon see internal structures clearly.
- Electron microscopes to magnify the surgical field for better precision.
Diagnosis and Preparation
Before the surgery, patients undergo a series of tests to map the tumor. These include blood chemistry, general blood and urine analysis, and detailed imaging like CT or MRI scans. These steps help the team create a plan tailored to the location and size of the tumor. Because the approach is minimally invasive, patients often experience a smoother recovery compared to open brain surgery.
