This division is operated with a pediatric neurosurgery clinic, a backbone clinic, a cerebrovascular clinic and a brain tumor clinic equipped with up-to-date equipment and skillful neurosurgeons. With special healthcare services, they satisfy patients. The pediatric neurosurgery clinic is to treat spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, congenital hydrocephalus, congenital brain tumors, craniosynostosis, pediatric cerebrovascular diseases (moyamoya disease, etc.), brain tumors and congential central nervous system malformation. The backbone clinic is to perform vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, endoscopic disc surgery (lumbar disc herniation), microscopic lumbar discectomy, microscopic spinal decompression and spinal motion conservation surgery, as well as to practice surgical treatments for juvenile and senile spinal deformities such as scoliosis and cyphosis, tubercular spinal deformities. In the cerebrovascular clinic is to treat cerebral aneurysm, cerebral arteriovenous malformation, hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage and ischemic diseases. For these, the medical staff performs craniotomy under general anesthesia and then removes the lesions. In recent times, it has been possible to treat them without craniotomy thanks to the advancement of interventional radiology.
