Functional neurosurgery
Functional neurosurgery (neuromodulation) is a relatively new area of medicine. The essence of the method is that a device is implanted under the skin of a patient with neurological pathologies.
By controlling this device, doctors achieve a therapeutic effect by changing the activity of the patient’s central and peripheral nervous systems . Such a patient has his own control panel with buttons. At first, the person is treated with conservative methods, and only if the treatment does not give results, the treating neurosurgeon determines the indications for neuromodulation surgery.
Operation
Using minimally invasive surgery, a device is implanted under the patient’s skin, which will have a corrective effect on certain brain structures affected by the pathological process.
Application
Neurostimulation is indicated:
- with muscle tone disorders,
- voluntary movements and postures of various etiologies (parkinsonism, essential tremor, muscular dystonia, cerebral palsy, hyperkinesis and spastic syndromes),
- severe chronic pain syndromes ,
- neuralgia of the trigeminal and other cranial nerves
- and a number of other diseases.

Examination by a neurosurgeon is a key step in determining an accurate diagnosis and planning treatment for diseases of the brain and nervous system.
A professional neurosurgeon uses modern methods: MRI, CT, PET and others, which allow you to obtain detailed information about the structure and functions of the brain. Cognitive functions are also assessed.
The main goal is to detect pathology in a timely manner and begin effective treatment. The success of the recovery and the patient's quality of life in the future depend on this.
Neurosurgery is a complex field where surgical intervention requires millimeter precision. Any imprecise movement can lead to serious neurological disorders.
That is why the neurosurgical operating room must be perfectly adapted to the needs of the procedure. It ensures absolute sterility and protection against infections during open intervention.
Modern equipment systems help the surgeon work as efficiently as possible and guarantee the highest level of safety for both the patient and the medical team.
