Neurology

Neurology deals with detecting and treating organic (originating from the organs) disorders and diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. The neurologist examines and cures the functioning of the brain and spinal cord and the nerves that permeate the whole body from there.   Complaints caused by neurological diseases vary widely, be it in their location or nature. Damage to the nervous system often appears not as an independent disease, but as a complication owing to other organ systems’ damage.  

Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is a medical specialism concerning operable diseases of the nervous system, skull and spine. The main areas are: neuro trauma (accidental damage to the nervous system and its supporting structures), neuro-oncology (cancer of the central and peripheral nervous system), vascular neurosurgery (vascular disorders of the central nervous system), spinal surgery (pathological processes affecting elements of the spine) functional neurosurgery (treatment of pain, epilepsy, movement disorders) and pediatric neurosurgery.

Hammer toe surgery

Hammer toe is one of the most common toe deformities, occurring primarily in women. The problem most often affects the second and third toes. The joints of the toe become misaligned: the base of the toe moves upward, while the middle joint bends downward. The condition often occurs in conjunction with deformities of the big toe (such as bunions), as the altered foot structure causes the other toes to shift, become distorted, or overlap. Hammer toe is not only an aesthetic problem, but can also cause pain, difficulty wearing shoes, and walking problems. In some cases, the condition can be treated with conservative methods rather than surgery, but in advanced cases, surgery is often the only permanent solution.

Bunion surgery

A bunion (hallux valgus) is one of the most common orthopedic deformities of the forefoot, affecting the big toe and the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint where the toe connects to the foot. With this joint deformity, the first metatarsal bone moves toward the body’s median line, and the big toe moves inwards towards the other toes, which may be accompanied by painful swelling or a bony growth on the inner edge of the foot. Depending on the bunion’s severity, complaints can range from a purely aesthetic problem to serious pain, difficulty wearing shoes, or compression and deformation of the adjacent toes. Statistically, this deformity occurs much more often in women than in men. In some cases, bunions can be treated with non-surgical methods and conservative treatment - e.g., special insoles, physiotherapy or pain relief - but in advanced stages, surgery is often the only permanent solution.

TOT anti-incontinence surgery

The primary indication for TOT (transobturator tape) surgery is incontinence, i.e. involuntary loss of urine. The main cause of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a rupture of the urethra, which can be due to vaginal delivery, connective tissue disorders and increased physical exertion. 

Stone removal surgeries - bladder stones

One possible form of urinary tract stones (urolithiasis) is bladder stones, i.e., the presence of urinary stones in the bladder. Removal of bladder stones is usually done through the urethra endoscopically (transurethral) and only rarely, usually in the case of large stones, is open surgical removal necessary.

Ear-nose-throat specialty

This medical field deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the organs located in the head and neck region and there forming a close unit: diseases of the ear, nasal and paranasal sinuses, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, salivary glands and, to some extent, esophagus and neck.
