Neurosurgery
Our centre in Lund performs surgery and provides pre- and postoperative care, neurointensive care, and outpatient services. We also have a 24-hour emergency response team.
Research
Research is an integral part of our clinical activities. We are conducting numerous research projects on conditions such as:
- Acute brain injuries
- Brain tumours
- Epilepsy
- Spinal diseases
- Cerebral haemorrhage
- Functional conditions such as movement disorders
Our research is conducted in close collaboration with basic and clinical research at Lund University.
Neurosurgical research at Lund University has traditionally played a prominent role both nationally and internationally. For example, the measurement of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and the development of the “Lund model” for treating severe head injuries have been recognised as significant advancements.
Current research includes:
- Investigating disease mechanisms of acute brain injury, both in neurointensive care settings and experimental studies, to develop better treatments.
- Leading research into brain tumours, with a focus on developing immunotherapy and gene therapy for malignant brain tumours.
- Ongoing clinical trials on subarachnoid haemorrhage, brain tumours, sports concussions, and severe head injuries.
- Trials using embryonic cell transplants to treat Parkinson’s disease, a project built on years of research at Lund University.
Our research is conducted by both junior and senior researchers, most of whom are also clinically active neurosurgeons at Skåne University Hospital.
