CRANIAL SURGERY

Cranial treatment protocols

Authorized clinical pathways for complex intracranial conditions, detailing standard surgical approaches and microvascular techniques.

PROTOCOL A-1

Microvascular reconstruction

Standardized microvascular techniques for cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations, established by academic consensus.

PROTOCOL A-2

Tumor resection standards

Intraoperative mapping and neuronavigation guidelines for the resection of primary and metastatic central nervous system tumors.

SPINAL SURGERY

Spinal treatment pathways

Peer-reviewed protocols for spinal pathology, focusing on structural stability and minimally invasive decompression techniques.

PROTOCOL B-1

Minimally invasive decompression

Surgical standards for microdiscectomy and canal decompression, prioritizing muscle-sparing approaches and rapid recovery cycles.

PROTOCOL B-2

Spinal fusion protocols

Clinical criteria and instrumentation guidelines for lumbar and cervical arthrodesis, ensuring long-term structural stability.

ACADEMIC CONSENSUS

National clinical consensus

Every protocol published by the Society is subject to rigorous peer review and approved by the national academic assembly, aligning Croatian neurosurgery with international standards.
