Neurosurgery / Advanced Neurosurgical Medicine Development / Neuroendovascular Therapy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A neurosurgery lab dedicated to treating diseases of the brain and spinal cord.
AboutAbout the lab
Facing diseases of the brain and spinal cord through surgery.
The Neurosurgery lab provides clinical care for diseases of the brain and spinal cord, including brain tumors, cerebrovascular disorders, and spinal cord diseases.
The lab is organized into groups for brain tumors, pituitary and neuroendocrine disorders, functional neurosurgery and image analysis, spinal cord and spine, endovascular neurosurgery, stroke surgery, and pediatric neurosurgery.
The lab is where the Sugita clip, an aneurysm clip for cerebral aneurysms, was developed, and its stroke surgery group carries out procedures such as vascular anastomosis for moyamoya disease.
Key terms
- Awake craniotomy
- Brain surgery in which the skull is opened while the patient is awake
- Neuroendoscopic surgery
- Surgery that uses an endoscope, a thin camera, to treat lesions deep in the brain
- Deep brain stimulation
- A treatment that applies electrical stimulation to deep parts of the brain to relieve symptoms such as involuntary movements
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works to provide cutting-edge, safe treatment for every kind of neurosurgical disease. It also pursues the development of surgical techniques and basic research on spinal cord regenerative medicine.
*Illustrative imageSurgery and treatment for brain tumors
The lab performs surgery for a wide range of brain tumors, from skull base surgery to awake craniotomy. For malignant tumors, it also provides chemotherapy and radiation therapy, aiming to improve both survival and functional outcomes.
*Illustrative imagePituitary tumors and neuroendocrinology
For pituitary tumors and tumors arising at the skull base, the lab uses specialized techniques such as neuroendoscopic surgery and keyhole surgery. As a hub for the Chubu region, it also treats dementia, including idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.
*Illustrative imageSurgery for involuntary movements and epilepsy
For intractable involuntary movements such as those caused by Parkinson's disease and tremor, as well as for epilepsy and pain, the lab performs stereotactic neurosurgery using the latest neuroimaging diagnostic technology. For deep brain stimulation, it uses a robot that it was the first in Japan to introduce.
*Illustrative imageMinimally invasive surgery of the spinal cord and spine
Using neuromonitoring and intraoperative navigation, the lab develops microsurgical techniques that place less burden on the body while achieving large therapeutic effects. It also carries out basic research on spinal cord regenerative medicine.
