Spinal surgery, disc replacement, treatment of brain tumours in Belgium at the Brussels Neurosurgery Centre

The Brussels Neurosurgical Center at the Parc Léopold Clinic in Belgium was established in 1965. Over the last 40 years, the Centre has become one of the leading private neurosurgical centres in Belgium.

 

With their expertise in spinal surgery, the private neurologists and neurosurgeons at the Neurosurgical Centre offer treatment for cervical or lumbar disc problems, arthritis of the spine, spinal deformities, brain tumours and spinal tumors. The Centre performs most types of spinal surgery including microsurgery, lumbar and cervical disc replacement  and complex spinal fusion.

Brain tumors are treated using operative microscope, ultasonic aspirator, neuronavigation and stereotaxy (computer assisted surgery). This allows millimetre precision, minimally invasive surgery, and increased chances of success.

 

Through a close collaboration with the department of interventional neuroradiology and their 3D cerebral angiogram techniques, the Centre is now able to offer to selected patients endovascular treatment of aneurysms and cerebral arteriovenous malformations, avoiding more aggressive neurosurgical procedures and allowing shorter stays in the hospital.

 

The Centre is also able to treat such diverse conditions as hydrocephalus, spinal and cerebral trauma, peripheral nerve diseases (in collaboration with the Hand surgery Department) or even chronic pain.

 

Patients presenting with malignant brain or spine tumours are operated on by the neurosurgeons, then referred if needed to the department of radiotherapy of the Clinique E. Cavell or to the Gamma Knife at the Hopital Universitaire Erasme, while still being followed up by their surgeon.

Although neurosurgery is a highly technical specialty, the team at the Brussels Neurosurgery Centre never forget that the patient is the centre of their attention. Their philosophy is, therefore, to favour a direct relationship between the surgeon and the patient, in order to achieve high tech, but compassionate care.
