Zusammenfassung

Neurochirurgische Interventionen in das Gehirn sind eine besondere Herausforderung für Ärzte und Patienten: zum einen, weil es dabei häufig um Leben und Tod geht, zum anderen weil sie die biologische Basis der Person subtil oder massiv verändern können. Das gilt häufig sowohl für die Erkrankung als auch für die neurochirurgische Behandlung. Neben der klassischen Neurochirurgie, die insbesondere offene Operationen am Gehirn (mit Kraniotomie) sowie stereotaktische Operationen inklusive der Implantation von Elektroden für die tiefe Hirnstimulation umfasst, spielt die ambulant durchführbare Radiochirurgie eine immer größere Rolle. Das Spektrum der Indikationen für neurochirurgische Behandlungen verändert sich in der letzten Zeit deutlich.
