Keeping abreast of advances in neuroscience enables neurologists and neurosurgeons at Netcare hospitals to increasingly offer minimally and non-invasive treatments for a variety of neurological, movement, and psychiatric disorders.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS)
Minimally invasive surgery treats movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia, as well as obsessive compulsive disorder and epilepsy.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a complex neurological condition that affects the brain and nervous system and is often associated with seizures. However, it is important to note that seizures are not always related to epilepsy, but can be caused by a number of other conditions and disorders.
Gamma Knife sterotactic radiosurgery
Non-invasive, high precision Gamma Knife radiosurgery is used for treating complex brain conditions. It is referred to as the gold standard of intracranial stereotactic radiation therapy.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
Ground breaking non-invasive stimulation of specifically targeted areas in the brain to treat certain neurological and psychiatric conditions.
