Neurosurgery

All cerebral bypass surgeries in Finland are performed exclusively at our neurosurgery clinic. In addition, we treat complex cranial base tumors, cerebral aneurysms, and cerebrovascular malformations in patients from Finland and abroad. This year, we will perform more than 3,500 surgeries and with the Päijät-Häme area included, we will perform nearly 4,000 surgeries.
 
Epilepsy surgery has been nationally centralized in HUS and Kuopio University Hospital. Our Helsinki University Hospital Neurosurgery Clinic has strong expertise in pediatric neurosurgery, and Finland’s only pediatric neurosurgery emergency service to provide care 24 hours a day operates in Helsinki.
