Brain tumor surgery

Surgical removal of brain tumors under the operating microscope, guided by neuronavigation for maximum precision.

3 to 6 hours depending on the location

Cervical and lumbar herniated disc surgery

Minimally invasive surgical treatment of herniated discs to relieve the nerve compression responsible for sciatica and neuralgia.

1 to 2 hours

Lumbar spinal stenosis surgery

Surgical decompression of nerves trapped in a narrowed spinal canal, to restore a comfortable walking distance.

1 to 3 hours depending on the number of levels

Spine surgery (stabilization, fusion)

Surgical stabilization of the spine by arthrodesis (vertebral fusion) in cases of instability, vertebral slippage or fracture.

2 to 5 hours depending on the extent of the construct

Intracranial hematoma surgery

Surgical evacuation of intracranial bleeding, either as an emergency or as a scheduled procedure, to relieve compression of the brain.

30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the type of hematoma

Surgical treatment of epilepsy

Surgical management of drug-resistant epilepsy, after a complete neurophysiological work-up.

3 to 5 hours

Cerebral vascular malformation surgery

Surgical treatment of brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and cavernomas, decided in multidisciplinary consultation.

3 to 6 hours

Neuronavigation

Computer-assisted surgical guidance technology, a true GPS for the brain, that increases the precision and safety of operations.

Integrated into the duration of the neurosurgical operation

Peripheral nerve surgery

Surgical treatment of nerve compressions (carpal tunnel, ulnar nerve) and traumatic injuries of the nerves of the limbs.

30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the procedure

Treatment of trigeminal neuralgia

Surgical management of the excruciating facial pain of trigeminal neuralgia when medication is no longer sufficient.

2 to 3 hours
