Department Introduction

The Department of Neurosurgery at China Medical University Hospital has long been dedicated to providing more precise, minimally invasive, and effective personalized care. It is equipped with advanced technologies such as ROSA robotic arms, intraoperative mobile 3D CT navigation (AIRO CT), hybrid operating rooms, high-end microscopes, and endoscopes. We also stay at the forefront of new developments in brain tumor immune cell therapy and spinal cord injury stem cell treatments. Collaborating with departments like neurology, radiology, oncology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, ENT, rehabilitation, and pathology, we hold regular meetings to provide comprehensive care for patients with various conditions.

Core Surgical Services

1. Minimally Invasive Surgery for Intracranial Hemorrhage

Intracranial hemorrhage is one of the most common causes of disability. The Department of Neurosurgery at China Medical University Hospital has evolved from using endoscopes to now employing ROSA robotic arms and intraoperative mobile 3D CT navigation (AIRO CT) to effectively and safely help patients clear intracranial hemorrhages.

2. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery and Stem Cell Treatment

In the field of spine surgery, ROSA robotic arms and intraoperative mobile 3D CT navigation (AIRO CT) help us perform surgeries in a more minimally invasive and safe manner. Stem cell research for spinal cord injury is also a key area of development for us.

3. Immune Cell Therapy for Brain Tumors

In addition to surgery, chemotherapy, targeted drugs, and radiation therapy for brain tumors, immune cell therapy offers another treatment option.

Innovative Research and Development

  1. Brain Tumor Genetic Testing and Organoid Cultivation :Through genetic testing and organoid cultivation, we increase the chances of finding drugs that can kill cancer cells.
  2. Malignant Brain Tumor Immunotherapy :Combining immune cell therapy with surgery, chemotherapy, targeted treatment, and radiation therapy provides patients with more treatment options for malignant brain tumors.
  3. Precision Spinal Cord Injury Stem Cell Treatment System :Utilizing image-guided precision placement of stem cells and tracking nerve repair for spinal cord injury.
  4. Exosome Applications in Drug Loading and Delivery :Exosomes can assist in delivering drugs and vaccines to target cells.
  5. Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy (CAR-T) :CAR-T therapy involves culturing one’s own T-cells to fight cancer cells in the body.
