Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov)
Strauss Ido
The Sourasky Neurosurgery Department performs around 1,000 neurosurgical operations with a 90-95% success rate. It is one of the best success indexes in the world. Doctors of the Department specialize in the pituitary tumor surgery. They carry out transsphenoidal surgery in most of the cases. It is the safest surgical method.
The transcranial pituitary tumor surgery (access through the opening in the skull) is rarely performed. But if it assigned, the operation is carried out under computer control in real time to avoid wrong movements and healthy tissues damage.
