Neurosurgery
-
“Rapid examination, accurate diagnosis, and customized treatment”
Introduction
In the Department of Neurosurgery, drug treatment and surgical treatment are performed for all nervous system diseases in the human body. It includes not only brain tumor, cerebrovascular disease, spinal disc disease, spinal stenosis, which are typical brain and spine diseases, but also peripheral nervous system disease, abnormal movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and tremor, and treatment of pain induced in the nervous system.
The nervous system has a detailed and complex structure, so neurosurgery is evaluated as a high-level operation. Therefore, careful and moderate treatment with high professionalism is required.
In the Department of Neurosurgery, the best medical staff who have specialized in only one field, such as brain tumor disease, cerebrovascular disease, abnormal movement disease, spinal disease, and pain, are using the latest medical technology such as gamma knife radiation surgery. At the meeting, we discuss the treatment of the patient and choose the best treatment method. In addition, rather than unconditionally recommending surgery, we are providing customized treatment suitable for the patient, and we are working closely with the Department of Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine to maximize the treatment effect through multidisciplinary treatment.
In order to help patients recover, the Department of Neurology is providing active treatment to quickly overcome disease and return to daily life, such as allowing simultaneous treatment of both Western and Korean medicine in one room in connection with the Korean medicine hospital in Kyung Hee University Medical Center.

Features
The Department of Neurosurgery at Kyung Hee Medical Center is treated by experts in each sub-field of neurosurgery. Professors who have been providing professional treatment for years and decades in only one field, such as brain tumor disease, cerebrovascular disease, abnormal movement disease, spinal disease, and pain, directly treat patients. Also three times a week, we have time to discuss the plans of patients who are currently undergoing treatment or are planning to receive treatment through my class meeting, so that the best treatment method is selected for the patient. In terms of treatment methods, we have a Gamma Knife radiosurgery facility where a neurosurgeon directly operates, so we can offer a variety of treatment methods to our patients. For cerebrovascular diseases, not only surgical treatment, but also the basis for endovascular surgery by being admitted to the neurosurgery without having to move to the department is laid. Since the effects of recent neurological diseases are limited as a single department, this department is closely cooperating with the departments of neurology and rehabilitation for multidisciplinary treatment. Above all, the advantage of Kyung Hee Medical Center is that it can be linked with Korean medicine hospitals. For patients who are hospitalized or recovering after surgery, they can receive simultaneous western and Korean medicine treatment in one room that cannot be received at other hospitals. It can be said that the specialty of the Department of Neurosurgery at Kyung Hee University Medical Center is that experts from various fields work together to provide the best results for a single patient with a neurological disease.
