Neurosurgery

The Neurosurgery Department diagnoses and treats surgical cases involving the entire nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, and related structures such as blood vessels and bones.　
As part of our multidisciplinary primary inpatient care course for stroke patients, we have set up the Stroke Section to collaborate with the Neurosurgery, Neurology and Rehabilitation departments.
We also operate the Stroke Care Center, where patients receive intensive care immediately after a stroke. The center also has acute beds and a Comprehensive Community Care Ward.

Characteristics

1. Systematic readiness to accept stroke patients so that thrombolytic agent, t-PA, can be administered within an hour from a visit
2. Establishment of the Stroke Unit (SU) to provide intensive initial care to stroke patients
3. Diagnosis of cerebral infarction types and determination of care plan at the early stage of visit by emergency MRI
4. Enhancement of the quality of care by mutual complement among the Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Rehabilitation Departments
5. Start of rehabilitation by Rehabilitation staff within 3 days after the onset of stroke
6. High home return rate of stroke patients after a period at a recovery-phase rehabilitation hospital.
7. Intravascular surgery such as thrombolytic therapy, mechanical thrombectomy, stent placement, and cerebral aneurysm coil embolization treatment to treat cerebrovascular stenosis or occlusion
8. Emergency surgery for cerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage
9. Safe surgeries under the guidance of surgery navigation system and intraoperative cerebral angiography
