ABOUT THE PRACTICE
The human brain, composed of more than 100 billion nerve cells, is the most complex structure in existence. By firing more than 17 trillion electrical signals every second, this miracle of creation is responsible for who we are – our ability to talk, our ability to walk, our thoughts, our actions, our feelings…
Clearly, when dealing with problems that arise from such an incredibly complicated structure, there is no margin for error and every detail matters... Brain Matters!
We work on the principle that no brain or spinal cord tumour is ever the same between two patients, because like every human being, every tumour is unique. Every tumour is studied down to the finest detail and a unique operation is planned that allows for maximal tumour removal while minimising the manipulation of the normal brain or spinal cord.
Our philosophy is to combine the use of keyhole and minimally invasive techniques, together with the most advanced surgical technologies in order to provide the highest quality neurosurgical care possible.
