I am a specialist in neurosurgery, a graduate of the Faculty of Medicine at the Medical University, a certified instructor of endoscopic spine surgery. I specialize in surgical treatment of brain and spine diseases, as well as in interventional pain treatment. I completed my specialization training in neurosurgery at the Department of Neurosurgery of the Medical University of Warsaw and at the Department of Neurosurgery of the CMKP in Warsaw. I have performed over 2500 surgeries on my own. I speak Polish, German, Russian and English.

I have special experience in the surgery of brain tumors - gliomas and tumors of the base of the skull.

I also deal with instrumental stabilization of the spine, insertion of artificial discs, apical-occipital decompression in Chiari syndrome, as well as microvascular decompression in vascular and nervous conflicts (trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm), My scope of interests also includes cranial base surgeries - interdisciplinary endoscopic surgeries with laryngological syndrome, hemangiomas and aneurysms of the brain (ruptured and unruptured, classic and endovascular surgeries - experience unique among neurosurgeons), spinal hemangiomas, endoscopic treatment of hydrocephalus and spinal cysts. In addition, I deal with interventional pain treatment by performing blockades of the spine, intervertebral joints, ganglia, peripheral nerves under X-ray or ultrasound control, thermolesion as well as implantation of spinal stimulators

I am a graduate of the Medical University of Warsaw, a specialist neurosurgeon. I gained my professional experience in the Neurosurgery Clinic of the MSWiA Hospital in Warsaw, the Neurosurgery Clinic of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine of the Medical University of Warsaw, the Institute of Experimental and Clinical Medicine of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
