At the Neurosurgery Department of the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital we operate on children, ranging from premature babies to young adults up to 21 years of age, suffering from disorders affecting the brain and the nervous system.
Our care work is carried out in general areas: pathology, trauma, tumours, hydrocephaly, malformations, vascular etc., as well as in specific areas, in partnership with multidisciplinary teams, in spina bifida, craniofacial surgery and spine surgery (scoliosis), among others.
The Neurosurgery Department also has specialised programmes, such as: epilepsy surgery, minimally invasive craniofacial surgery, neuroendoscopy, complex tumour resection (by means of neuronavigation or robots), surgical treatment of spasticity, orthotic treatment of plagiocephaly, surgical treatment of craniocervical disorders, etc.
These surgeries and treatments are developed in the context of the functional neurosurgery program, in which our children's program together with the adult program (together with Hospital Clínic) is the only complete program in Spain.
