Advantages of Neurosurgery in the UAE

In recent years, neurosurgery in the United Arab Emirates has become a highly developed field of medicine, combining technological excellence and the professionalism of highly qualified specialists from all over the world.

Patients from different countries around the world, including the Middle East, the Gulf countries, and Europe, prefer to undergo treatment in the UAE due to the high level of service, multilingual staff, and quality medical care. An important advantage is also the availability of foreign specialists representing the best medical schools in the world working in the UAE.

Neurosurgery centers and clinics in the UAE are famous for their exceptional competence in highly specialized areas. Every year, more than 700 planned and emergency operations are carried out at one of these clinics.

Advantage over other international medical centers:

  • We collaborate with the only medical institution in the Middle East that treats stroke patients over 80 years old using unique methods. In January 2018, such an operation was performed on a 99-year-old patient.
  • One of the first to use the world’s most powerful operating microscope, KINEVO 900, a device that allows 3D visualization of the smallest tumors and blood vessels. Its introduction significantly advanced world neurosurgery.
  • We collaborate with the world’s only medical institution using a special protocol that allows a patient to immediately have a CT or MRI and start treatment just 30 minutes after admission to the department.
  • Our neurosurgeons treat newborns, starting from the moment of their birth, and elderly people of almost any age.

In recent years, special attention has been paid to super-specialization and a multidisciplinary approach. This has provided an additional advantage – the ability to most effectively manage the entire spectrum of neurosurgical pathologies.

A highly qualified team of neurosurgeons specializing in diseases of the brain and spinal cord works in neurosurgery clinics and centers in the UAE, practicing advanced technologies for diagnosis, treatment, and improving patients’ quality of life. Our experts are ready to provide patients with qualified assistance in a warm and caring atmosphere, addressed to each patient individually.

Methods

Surgical Methods

Surgical techniques are very diverse; in each specific case, the type of intervention is accurately selected by a multidisciplinary council of leading doctors: neurosurgeons, radiologists, rehabilitation specialists, and specialists from other fields of medicine, involved depending on the type of disease.

Endovascular Neurosurgery

Endovascular neurosurgery is one of the advanced and most new directions, based on intervention using catheters and implantable intravascular devices, which avoids the traumatic procedure of craniotomy, as well as allowing precise visualization of vascular pathology and their immediate correction. Indications may be the following pathologies of brain vessels:

  • Stroke
  • Stenosis
  • Injury
  • Aneurysm
  • Arteriovenous malformations

The procedure can also be performed to remove some types of intracranial neoplasms.

The principle of such catheterization can also be used for the treatment of retinoblastoma by introducing concentrated chemotherapy drugs directly into the eye artery, bypassing the bloodstream and digestive system, which completely eliminates side effects and enhances the direct effect.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is performed by implanting a subcutaneous electrical stimulator connected to electrodes placed in specific areas of the brain. The device delivers controlled electrical impulses that help regulate abnormal brain activity.

DBS is used to treat Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.

Functional Neurosurgery

Functional neurosurgery is often used in our network of hospitals, which is a cornerstone of our commitment to provide exceptional medical service. When surgical intervention is performed near areas responsible for various body functions, there is a need for intervention and removal of pathological tissue under local anesthesia using the “awake craniotomy” method.

The patient is fully conscious; the neurosurgeon assesses the risk of damaging a brain area by the patient’s reaction. Such procedures are performed by high-class neurosurgeons who brilliantly practice special ultra-modern functional MRI, which helps precisely localize the signal processing zones coming from various sense organs.

Cranioplasty

Neurosurgery centers successfully restore skull bones damaged after trauma or during a previous operation, using bone fragment transplantation from the patient’s material or an artificial implant.
