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.
