Acoustic neuroma is one of the common intracranial tumors. Most acoustic neuromas grow slowly, are benign tumors, do not metastasize and rarely become malignant. However, intracranial space is a bony and limited space. As the tumor grows, it will affect other brain structures and cause corresponding symptoms. With the growth of the tumor, the tumor will compress the nearby auditory nerve (medically called cochlear nerve), which will cause tinnitus and hearing loss. This symptom is sometimes not obvious, and patients often ignore it. When the symptoms are very obvious, the acoustic neuroma is very large, and the operation is very difficult, which may lead to deafness and facial paralysis after general operation.

The monitoring of facial nerve and auditory nerve (if it is possible to keep hearing) is what every patient expects, so it is very important to have a good hospital and a good doctor. Because neurosurgery started late in China, there is generally no specialized large-scale neurosurgery hospital, and patients often have to look abroad for better treatment results. So, what are the top hospitals for acoustic neuroma abroad?

Foreign hospitals for acoustic neuroma are better.

Acoustic neuroma is generally the first choice for resection. Surgery is a radical treatment, and most tumors can be completely removed without recurrence. Surgery is mainly divided into craniotomy and minimally invasive surgery. In the craniotomy of acoustic neuroma, the Medical College of the University of Utah and the International Institute of Neurosurgery (INI) in Hanover, Germany are in the forefront of the world, while in the minimally invasive surgery of acoustic neuroma, they are in the forefront of Lariboisiere Hospital in France. Besides the advanced equipment and technology of the hospital, what kind of doctor is particularly important. Only highly skilled and experienced doctors can successfully remove acoustic neuroma while preserving hearing.

Germany: Germany (INI) and its world-recognized master of skull base tumor surgery, Professor Bartrand Fei.

Professor Bartrand Fei, a professor of neurosurgery at the International Institute of Neurosurgery (INI) in Hanover, Germany, performed a very delicate operation on acoustic neuroma in Germany. For the treatment of acoustic neuroma, Professor Bartrand Fei can skillfully combine advanced equipment such as neuronavigation, neuroelectrophysiological detection, DTI and intraoperative nuclear magnetic resonance to perform accurate, safe, three-dimensional visualization and precise microsurgery, which can remove the stripped tumor focus to the maximum extent, while protecting the auditory nerve function, facial nerve function and even peripheral nerve functional areas, thus ensuring the quality of life of patients after operation. For acoustic neuromas less than 3cm, Professor Bartrand Fei can not only completely remove them, but also do not damage hearing and cause facial paralysis. For acoustic neuromas larger than 3cm, it is very challenging. He can completely remove them while preserving his hearing as much as possible. The probability of facial paralysis is over 98%.

Professor Bartland Fei has visited China many times and is familiar to many patients in China. Domestic patients affectionately call him Professor Ba. Professor Ba is best at the operation of complex parts such as skull base, brain stem, thalamus and pituitary gland. His patients come from Europe, the United States, Arab countries and all over China, and they are highly recommended and recommended by the attending doctor.

The International Institute of Neurosurgery (INI) in Hanover, Germany, where Professor Bartrand Fei is located, is a world-renowned neurosurgical treatment center. Located in Hanover, central Germany, it has key departments such as neurosurgery, neurology, neuroradiology, otolaryngology, orthopedics, internal medicine, etc., which mainly treat nervous system diseases. In addition, it initiated and popularized a new branch of neurosurgery-skull base surgery. Therefore, INI is world-renowned in the surgical treatment of intracranial tumors, especially skull base and brain stem diseases.

United States: Professor Codwell, an acoustic neuroma surgeon at the University of Utah School of Medicine and his master's degree.

Professor William T. Couldwell is an American expert in acoustic neuroma surgery. He is very meticulous in the operation of acoustic neuroma. He can remove acoustic neuroma from various approaches, and choose the most suitable approach according to different patients' conditions, so as to ensure that patients' hearing can be preserved and achieve a high resection rate. In addition to his outstanding performance in surgery, Professor William T. Couldwell has published 400 peer-reviewed professional articles, written more than 65,438+000 book chapters and 7 professional books, and received many federal and other research grants from the United States.

The medical school of the University of Utah, where the professor is located, is famous all over the United States. The University of Utah School of Medicine has made great contributions to the United States and the world. It is the first artificial permanent heart in the world, and it was also born here and implanted into human body. The Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) of the University of Utah is the official cancer center in Utah and a well-known cancer research center in the United States. HCI is responsible for the management of Utah population database, which is one of the largest genetic databases in the world, with more than 654.38+065.438+000 million people, as well as genealogy, health records and vital statistics.

France: Lariboisiere Hospital and its neuroendoscopic surgery expert Professor Froelich.

Minimally invasive technology has experienced a history of nearly a hundred years. With the successful completion of 1987, the world's first laparoscopic cholecystectomy has opened a new chapter in the development of minimally invasive technology. Subsequently, a large number of advanced surgical instruments appeared, which promoted the development of minimally invasive technology and gradually matured. Among them, neuroendoscopic surgery is a very famous minimally invasive surgery in recent years. Brain tumor can be successfully removed without craniotomy, which is the first choice for patients who don't want to do craniotomy. Professor Sebastien Froelich has done a lot of research in neuroendoscopic surgery. This unique genius invented the "chopstick technique", which perfectly solved the shortcoming that two people needed to cooperate in neuroendoscopic surgery, so that he could remove acoustic neuroma by himself, which improved the efficiency of surgery and greatly reduced the risk of surgery.

The Lariboisiere Hospital, where Professor Sebastien Froelich is located, was established in 1875 with a very long history. It is one of the oldest neurosurgery hospitals in the world and occupies an important position in France and even the whole of Europe.

165438+1in the middle of October, two international skull base tumor surgeons from INC will be the chief surgeons in China in the future, which will be a new choice for high-end brain tumor patients.

2019165438+10.9, the second annual summit of the world neurosurgery advisory group (Wang) hosted by INC International Neurosurgeon Group will be grandly opened! Taking this rare opportunity, Professor Sebastien Froelich of France and Professor Bartrand Fei of Germany of INC will also operate on brain tumor patients who are pursuing perfect surgical quality in China and are interested in seeking individualized treatment from international president neurosurgeons. The locations are the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University, Children's Hospital of Suzhou University and Shaw Hospital. In addition, INC 14 global chairman-level neurosurgery experts, including German professor Bartrand Fei and French professor Sebastien Froelich, will also open on-site consultation for domestic patients.
