Since the introduction of transnasal skull base endoscopic surgery in 1993, we has been committed to the development of minimally invasive surgery for a long time in Taichung Veterans General Hospital. Minimally invasive surgery is the mainstream of today's surgery. Based on the concept of minimally invasive surgery, with intraoperative nerve monitoring, 3D microscope, 3D endoscope and hybrid operating room, keyhole surgery, 3D stereo navigation surgery and minimally invasive spine surgery have been developed.  We also develop the application of ultrasound technology in minimally invasive spine surgery and brain surgery. These techniques can not only improve the accuracy of surgery, but also can be applied to intracranial tumor treatment, intracranial aneurysm surgery, microvascular decompression of  trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm, treatment of spinal tumors and spinal degenerative diseases,etc. This patient safety-oriented treatment approach can increase patient safety, prognosis and satisfaction, and effectively shorten the length of hospital stay for patients.  In the future, we will continue to develop more minimally invasive surgical methods to benefit the general public.

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become the mainstay in neurosurgery. We treat intracranial tumors, vascular lesions, and spinal diseases via minimally invasive procedures (e.g., keyhole surgery) in combination with intra-operative neuro-monitor, neuro-navigation system, 3D endoscope, augmented reality microscopic system, and intra-operative ultrasound. In addition, in the hybrid operating room equipped with robotic arms or intra-operative computed tomography system, innovative MIS procedures can be performed with safety, precision, and small wounds.

TCVGH department of Neurosurgery began in 1982. For these consecutive years, hospital evaluation and Taiwan Neurosurgical Society have recognized TCVGH Neurosurgery as one of the top neurosurgery programs in Taiwan. We are focused every day on extending the frontiers of knowledge, increasing our understanding of the brain and spine, and advancing treatments for a full range of neurological conditions.  We are consistently inspired by the courage of our patients as they face complex and often life-threatening challenges, while entrusting us with their clinical care. 
The faculty members of Neurosurgical Neuro-oncology of Taichung Veterans General Hospital Neurosurgery are committed to providing the finest and most comprehensive patient care through innovative clinical programs in minimally invasive brain surgery, neuroendoscopy, neuro-oncology for brain tumors, stereotactic radiosurgery for brain and spinal disorders.
Working together, our team is creating a brighter future for our patients. Clinicians and scientists in Neurosurgery, Neurology, Neuroradiology, Neuropathology, Psychiatry, Pharmacology, Bioengineering, and the Brain Research Institute work together toward the discovery and cure of diseases of the nervous system. None of this would be possible without the department’s sustaining partnerships and important collaborations.  Nor would our work be possible without the trust placed in our team by our patients and their families, who are at the heart of all that we do. 
Diagnostic, consultative and therapeutic services are offered to address all neurosurgical problems. The physicians of TCVGH Neurosurgical Neuro-oncology are pleased to discuss prospective referrals and to assist with the proper selection of a specialist.

TCVGH Neurosurgical Neuro-oncology Facilities
TCVGH Medical Center facilities which directly support the Neurosurgery Programs include:
Neurosurgical operating rooms equipped for image-guided stereotaxis, neuro-endoscopy, neurophysiological brain monitoring and intraoperative angiography
Dedicated suite for intra-operative CT surgery
Gamma Knife radiosurgical facility
Neurosurgical ICU equipped for intensive brain monitoring techniques
Advanced neuroimaging facilities including functional MRI, MRI spectroscopy, diffusion/perfusion MRI, MR neurography, 3-D reconstruction for surgical planning, and clinical positron emission tomography (PET)
Outpatient neurosurgery center
MR neurography
Future of Neurosurgical Neuro-oncology
Neurosurgical Neuro-oncology department continues its pursuit in research, teaching and patient care. In the research labs clinicians and scholars work together to unravel the mysteries of the brain as they seek to advance their understanding and develop new treatments for patients. The group seeks to provide state-of-the-art patient care in a setting that is both pleasant and convenient for patients and their families.

Interduction-
Interventional neurosurgery is a subspecialty within the fields of neurosurgery, neurology and radiology that has as its goal the management and treatment of complex cerebrovascular disorders using multiple approaches. We provide not only delicate microsurgery, also less invasive endovascular therapy, treating lesions from within the blood vessel by threading small catheters through arteries and veins. Furthermore, we have the most advanced hybrid surgery, combination of both open microsurgery and endovascular techniques, in Taiwan.

* Below is a list of some of the interventional neurosurgery available.
* Acute Stroke Thrombolysis
* Aneurysm Coiling
* Aneurysm Clipping
* Arteriovenous Fistula Embolization
* Brain AVM Embolization
* Brain AVM microsurgery
* Brain Tumor Embolization
* Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting
* Intracranial Arterial Angioplasty and Stenting
* EC-IC bypass surgery

Functional neurosurgery aims to use the latest imaging and neuro-electrophysiological monitoring technology for brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerve surgery to achieve cutting-edge medical treatment with the three characteristics of minimal invasiveness, high precision and functional retention.
Whole spine image guidance and microsurgery, 3D image-guided navigation surgery, percutaneous full-endoscopic surgery for whole spine, deep brain stimulation/stereo-EEG implantation surgery, intractable epilepsy surgery, intraoperative neurophysiological monitor and brain mapping/awake surgery and various minimally invasive pain treatments are the features of the functional neurosurgery.

Below is a list of some of the functional neurosurgery available.

Whole spine image guidance and microsurgery
Various types of cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral surgery
Percutaneous full-endoscopic surgery for whole spine

 Introduction to Pediatric Neurosurgery

The structures of the brains and spinal cords of children are small and meticulous. We have introduced the clinical practices of four children's hospitals in the United States and the Juntendo University Hospital in Japan. Our multidisciplinary team includes pediatric neurosurgery, rehabilitation, and pediatric neuroradiologists to evaluate, treat, and follow up the patients together. High technology is utilized to perform cranial and spine surgeries to assist children's growth and development. The scope of services is as follows:

Brain tumors in children
1. We use imaging navigator
2. We cooperates with functional neurosurgery experts to apply "intraoperative neuromonitoring", including somatosensory evoked potentials, motor evoked potentials, brainstem auditory evoked potentials, electromyography, cerebral cortex localization and subcortical localization.
3. Precision Medicine

Hydrocephalus in children
1. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy, endoscopic fenestration.
2. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement

Cerebrovascular diseases in children
    For difficult surgeries or very small lesions, we cooperate with interventional vascular neurosurgeons to combine imaging and craniotomy in Hybrid surgery.

Spinal cord tumors in children
    We use the "intraoperative neuromonitoring" mentioned above to assist to locate the incision on spinal cord.

Spinal dysraphism
    The kids can be managed by Children's Medical Center and Division of Pediatric Surgery. The lesions can be checked by spinal ultrasound in rehabilitation department or magnetic resonance imaging in radiology department. Older children can receive neurophysiological examination in rehabilitation department and urodynamic study in Urology department. We collaborate with a functional neurosurgeon to use Intraoperative Neuromonitoring.

Refractory epilepsy in children
     A 24-hour video EEG examination, neuroimaging examinations in the Departments of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine can be arranged. A psychologist can conduct the mental assessment. After discussion in multidisciplinary team of epilepsy surgery, the surgical benefits can be evaluated and the surgical strategy can be formulated.
