Neurosurgical research

Neurosurgical research is crucial to further improving the safety and precision of operations on the brain and spinal cord. Our continuous research and development enables us to further refine surgical techniques and optimize treatment approaches to achieve the best therapy for our patients. Our projects and studies in neurosurgery at Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, play a central role in this.

Spinal research

Research in spinal surgery is crucial to the continuous improvement of treatment for common and complex back problems such as herniated discs, spinal canal stenosis and vertebral fractures. New, less invasive techniques, modern implants and regenerative approaches can improve patients' quality of life and shorten recovery times.

IONM research

Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is used to monitor brain function during surgical procedures. The aim is to avoid neurological damage, especially when operating in the vicinity of sensitive brain structures. We are currently conducting two studies on neuromonitoring.
