The renovation of the operating rooms and the purchase of instruments worth nearly one billion HUF were carried out at the University of Pécs Clinical Center Department of Neurosurgery. The surgical treatment of brain and spinal diseases has developed enormously.
The activity of the Department of Neurosurgery is recognized nationally. It is the first center where neurosurgery treatment of movement disorders was performed in an organized manner.
Under the professional leadership of professors dr. András Büki and dr. Tamás Dóczi, significant modernization, and the development of operating rooms have taken place in recent years, the last steps of which were carried out at the end of 2021. The HUF 936 million development series was implemented partly from TIOP resources, government funding, and own resources.
The operating rooms III and IV of the Department of Neurosurgery and the corresponding service rooms (operating environment, sickroom, warehouse) have been completely renovated. The building also needed to be remodeled for the new equipment to meet professional requirements. The development has been implemented in several phases while ensuring continuous patient care.
A Bi-Plane (angiographic) X-ray machine was purchased that depicts the cerebral vessels in three dimensions. It can be used to remove blood clots causing blockages and reverse the paralysis of patients. Each year, more than two hundred patients with cerebrovascular occlusion are treated at the department. As a result of the interventions, many of them can restore their ability to walk and become self-sufficient and, in many cases, to maintain their ability to work.
In addition to the new X-ray equipment, an adjustable, X-ray transparent operating table with accessories and a surgical light were also purchased. The machinery has also been expanded with a mobile DSA X-ray device, an endoscopy tower, and a new, world-class operating microscope to remove brain tumors even more accurately. Under the microscope, abnormal cerebral vessels that feed the brain tumor can be stained and separated from intact cerebral vessels. A new navigation system is also part of the set of instruments, allowing one to navigate inside the brain or spine with millimeter accuracy.
