Introduction
As a neurosurgeon, I am fascinated by the anatomical complexity of the specialty and the logic of nervous system function. My main focus is the surgical treatment of brain tumors and epilepsy, and pediatric neurosurgery. I see patients from infancy. The most common reasons for referral are back and neck pain, radiculopathy, and carpal tunnel syndrome. If necessary, we perform neurosurgical operations at Meliva under both local and general anesthesia.
