Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery focuses on the surgical treatment of pathologies of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord) and peripheral nerves. Patients most commonly seek treatment at Meliva for spine issues like lumbar and cervical radiculopathy, as well as brain tumours and tunnel syndromes such as carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome. In addition, our neurosurgeon Dr. Elli Asser provides consultations in the case of vascular anomalies and neurosurgical problems in children.
The most common reasons for referring to a neurosurgeon are:
- headache and back pain
- neuralgias
- numbness in the limbs and face
- carpal tunnel surgery
