The purpose of this section is to indicate the number of surgical operations in the field of brain oncology.
Craniotomy is a surgical procedure that allows access to the inside of the skull in order to treat some diseases of neurosurgical interest (e.g. pituitary adenoma, cerebral meningioma, etc.). Craniotomy is performed under general anaesthesia, except in strictly selected cases decided by the neurosurgeon.
It is important to know that there are indicators developed by the Italian National Healthcare Outcomes Program (Programma nazionale esiti – PNE), carried out by AGENAS on behalf of the Ministry of Health, which provide information on the number of interventions and their outcomes.
The Italian National Healthcare Outcomes Program (PNE), developed by AGENAS on behalf of the Ministry of Health, has developed a specific indicator: the number of interventions for nervous system neoplasms.
The greater the number of surgeries performed by the healthcare centre, the greater the experience that the staff can boast.
The “Find a healthcare centre” tool (TrovaStrutture) has been designed to provide you with as much information and services – available in public and private affiliated hospitals – as possible. In the “Healthcare centre details” section you can check, for each centre, the presence of the “Transfusion Centre” services and the “Resuscitation Service”. These services increase the timeliness of care in the event that the patient needs blood and/or intensive care, thus avoiding the possible increase in criticalities related to the surgical interventions the patient has undergone.
