Almana Hospital Neurosurgery Department

At Almana Hospital, our Neurosurgery department focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and the blood vessels that supply these structures.

Conditions We Treat:

  • Brain Tumors: We perform surgical interventions to remove or biopsy both malignant and benign brain tumors.
  • Spinal Cord Tumors: Our neurosurgeons specialize in removing or biopsying tumors affecting the spinal cord.
  • Head Injuries: Surgical intervention may be necessary for severe head injuries or blood clots within the skull.
  • Stroke: In cases of ischemic stroke caused by blood clots, surgery may be utilized for clot removal.
  • Aneurysms: We offer surgical interventions for weakened blood vessels in the brain (intracranial aneurysms) to prevent rupture and bleeding.
  • Epilepsy: Surgery is considered for patients with uncontrolled epilepsy that does not respond to medication, aiming to remove seizure-causing areas of the brain.
  • Parkinson's Disease: Deep brain stimulation surgery is used to improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
  • Spinal Disorders: Conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and others are treated with surgical expertise by our neurosurgeons.
  • Hydrocephalus: Treatment involves placing shunts by our neurosurgeons to alleviate fluid buildup in the brain.

Procedures:

Our neurosurgeons employ a variety of advanced techniques:

  • Craniotomy: Opening the skull to access the brain for surgical procedures.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: Whenever suitable, we utilize minimally invasive techniques to minimize recovery times and scarring.
  • Endoscopic Surgery: Using thin, lighted tubes equipped with cameras to visualize and perform surgical procedures through small incisions.
  • Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Delivering precise radiation therapy to target tumors or other lesions in the brain.
