Herzliya Medical Center

• Oncology
• Cardiac Surgery
• Orthopedics
• Neurosurgery
• Urology

Due to the technical equipment and training of specialists for microsurgical operations, Herzliya Medical Center became the first private clinic to receive permission to carry out surgical interventions.

The clinic performs 20,000 surgical operations annually:

• 5600 general surgery procedures
• 1600 bariatric procedures
• 5000 orthopedic procedures

1. Center for Onco-Surgery — treatments of the tumors in the digestive tract and prostate
2. General surgery department — gastroenterological and weight loss surgery
3. Orthopedics and neurosurgery center — brain tumors, herniated discs, and joint replacement
4. Center for Cardiology — angioplasty and catheterization surgeries; coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve prosthetics

Herzliya hospital is considered the leading medical center in Israel in the field of endoscopy. The neurosurgical center`s doctors are experts in using the endoscope in neuroendoscopic operations.

Microsurgical and endovascular surgeries are performed using intraoperative microscopes, which reduces the risk of damaging the important structures of the brain and spinal cord.

Equipment:

• Stereotactic Surgery Units — Cyberknife and TrueBeam
• DBS — deep brain stimulation
• Neuronavigation systems
• Intraoperative MRI

Herniated disc

An innovative method for treating hernias in the center is Disc-FX Discectomy Radio Wave — a minimally invasive technique in which an action is performed on the damaged area using the Trigger-Flex radio wave system. As a result, pain is reduced and intervertebral disc function is restored.

A brain arteriovenous malformation

For the treatment of malformations, the center performs vascular embolization with a special substance that glues the vascular walls. Blood supply at the site of malformation ceases and the risk of rupture decreases. In some cases, radiosurgical treatments are used.

Pituitary Adenoma

If there is no effect of drug treatment, the method of transnasal endoscopic removal of adenoma is most often used.
Surgical access through the patient’s nasal cavity does not leave a scar after the intervention and reduces the risk of complications.
