The program provides basic knowledge, development of clinical thinking and practical skills.
Objective of the training course
The goal of the neurosurgery training course is to acquire basic knowledge about neurosurgical disease, which implies knowledge of the neurological and clinical manifestations of neurosurgical pathologies, their accurate and timely diagnosis, and the basic principles of treatment.
To study neurosurgery, the student must have passed
- Anatomy
- Physiology
- Microbiology
- Topographical anatomy
- Operative surgery
- General surgery
- Radiology
- Neurology
Topics of practical training in neurosurgery
- 01neurological examination of the patient;
- 02Basics of neuroimaging;
- 03intracranial pressure and the essence of intracranial hypertension;
- 04Basics of diagnosing and treating brain injury;
- 05diagnosis and treatment of traumatic injuries of the spinal column;

- 07Cerebrovascular pathologies - ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, intracranial aneurysm, arterio-venous malformation (AVM);
- 08Peripheral nerve damage, diagnosis and treatment.
Learning outcome / competencies
After completing the neurosurgery course, the student should have the ability to diagnose common neurosurgical diseases in the pre-hospital stage, to eliminate immediate threats to life, to provide step-by-step treatment of diseases and, if necessary, safe transportation. Also, a graduate of a medical university, i.e. a doctor of a general profile, should know the early and late complications after neurosurgery, in this regard, he should have knowledge of the basics of ambulatory supervision of a number of neurosurgical diseases.
