Cranial Surgery
Diseases of the brain, meninges and skull can go unnoticed for a long time, occur as the result of an accident, be discovered by chance or became apparent by the sudden onset of significant or substantial symptoms.
These include:
- Benign and malignant tumors
- Cerebrospinal fluid circulation disorders
- Bleedings within the skull or brain
- Vascular malformations
- Persistent symptoms after a cranial trauma (e.g. post-concussion syndrome)
Comprehensive Information and Consultation for Extra- and Intracranial Diseases
The diagnosis or suspicion of a disease of the skull, meninges or brain can be associated with a great uncertainty and anxiety. Thus, it is of utmost importance to receive detailed information about the diagnosis, the natural course of the disease and advice on various treatment methods that do not necessarily involve surgery.
Minimally Invasive Surgeries: Modern Technology for Maximum Safety
Patients with these diseases can be counseled and cared for by me on an outpatient basis in St. Gallen. If an operation is necessary, it is performed using minimally invasive techniques and current state-of-the-art technologies. Minimally invasive surgery implies, that the access to the pathology is as small as possible and as large as necessary to achieve an optimal treatment result.
Considerate and Thoughtful Treatment Focusing on Preservation of Function and Quality of Life
The hair is shaved sparingly and the incision is usually very small.
