Neuro Life Sciences
Diagnostic Neuroradiology
The discipline of neuroradiology encompasses the diagnosis and therapy of ailments and changes in the central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord together with their envelope and peripheral structures.
Neuroradiology supplements the related disciplines of neurosurgery, neurology, psychiatry, orthopaedics, and internal medicine with radiological examination techniques, thus providing assistance and alternatives for them in terms of both diagnostics and therapies. Close diagnostic correlations also link neuroradiology with the fields of ear, nose, and throat medicine, maxillofacial (jaw) surgery, and ophthalmology (eyes).
Invasive Neuroradiology
Invasive radiology is a specific type of radiology (radiodiagnostics) and part of the specialised field of diagnostic neuroradiology. Specialists perform invasive imaging tests and interventions on the central nervous system (brain, cranial nerves, and spinal canal). These include angiography (examination of the blood vessels) and myelography (examination of the spinal cord).
Neurosurgery
This area of expertise encompasses operations such as the removal of brain or spinal cord tumours and the treatment of brain haemorrhages as well as slipped discs. The neurosurgeon performs surgery on the nerves of the face, hands, and legs.
The neurosurgeon uses special surgical techniques for operating on the nervous system. It is important, especially during operations on brain tumours, not to damage the surrounding healthy tissue. That is why neurosurgery uses very modern, computer-aided navigation systems that allow a high degree of precision.
The CyberKnife system introduces new ways of treating benign and certain malignant brain tumours and deformities of the brain's blood vessels without having to open the skull.
Neuropelviology
Neuropelviology is specialized in the integral diagnosis and treatment of pain, diseases, and functional disturbances of the small pelvis that have a neurological origin. Thanks to ultramodern techniques and close interdisciplinary collaborations with other competence centres and institutes of the various clinics, every patient at our Centre can be confident that they are receiving the best advice and treatment possible.
The medical director of the Neuropelviology Centre is recognized worldwide as a leader in laparoscopic surgery of the nerves located in the small pelvis. The Centre concentrates on first-rate medical care, paying special attention to individual patient needs.
Neurorehabilitation
Our rehabilitation program specializes in treatments for severe cases in which patients have suffered from automobile accidents, traumatalogical incidents, and strokes that result in brain and nerve injuries. For more than 20 years, the Swiss clinics have been helping these people find their way back to their everyday lives. The Swiss Clinic is known for providing excellent medical treatment, professional nursing and therapies, as well as care based on humaneness and respect.
Neurorehabilitation is the culmination of many different fields to provide the best care and education for patients with injuries or diseases affecting their nervous system. Many neurorehabilitation programs utilize cutting edge technology offered by hospitals or in private, specialized clinics and have a wide variety of specialists in many different fields in order to provide the most well-rounded treatment for patients. These long-term treatments allow individuals and their families to live the most normal, independent life possible.
Therapy Concept
Each patient will be offered an individualized therapy concept that is designed based on a thorough medical diagnosis and the patient’s individual impairment profile. Nervous system disorders often affect different body functions with both direct and indirect consequences for many aspects of daily life. The complexity of a disability requires an interdisciplinary therapeutic approach bringing together a number of professional groups.
