Neurosurgery

Clinical research

  1. Establishment of minimally-invasive Neurosurgery: Neuroendoscopy, Endovascular Surgery, Stereotaxic Surgery.
  2. Establishment of a monitoring method for Neurosurgery: adoption of a neuro-navigation system that combines neuroimaging, EEG evoked potential, and ultrasonic methodology.
  3. Establishment of neuro-imaging for Intractable Epilepsy: Adoption of a non-invasive protocol for epileptic lesion identification.
  4. Multidisciplinary treatment for Brain Tumors
  5. Pediatric neurosurgery that places top priority on improvement of QOL
