NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION
Remote patient diagnosis & consultation
To simplify the initial contact with our hospital for patients from abroad, we have prepared a remote two-stage process of prequalification for neurosurgical procedure. In the first stage, the patient sends via email all available medical documentation (lab results, treatment history, MRI scans) to be analyzed by our neurosurgical team. In second stage, we will arrange an on-line video consultation with one of our neurosurgeons. The cost of the online consultation is 200EUR. All necessary exams (e.g. CT, MR) and consultations will be repeated during the patient’s stay at Vital Medic Hospital. The final therapeutic decision will be based on neurosurgical exam and radiological results. At this point the final financial settlement may be presented to the patient. The neurosurgical treatment will be carried out according to the schedule determined by the team of specialists. We encourage you to use the email below or the contact form to begin your treatment.
Comprehensive and coordinated treatment
Comprehensive and coordinated treatment for brain and spine tumors takes place at the Brain and Spine Tumor Treatment Center, where we provide:
• Neurosurgical/neurological consultations – initial, to diagnose the disease
• Diagnostic tests appropriate for the initial diagnosis
• Qualification for surgical treatment
• Individually selected surgery with the use of advanced technology for planning and performing the procedure
• Individually planned perioperative and postoperative neurological rehabilitation
• Follow-up consultations for post-op control and continuation of the treatment
