    The Neurosurgery & Spine Department is a key specialty at Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital, focusing on the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and management of brain, spine, and spinal cord conditions.

    Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital is a pioneer in Vietnam in applying the O-arm 3D imaging system in combination with the StealthStation S8 Navigation system — one of the most advanced neurosurgical technologies globally. This enables highly precise brain and spine surgeries with near-absolute accuracy.

  • Brain conditions:

    • Lysis therapy and hematoma drainage for hypertensive brain hemorrhage — A technique involving catheter insertion into the brain or ventricle hematoma to deliver thrombolytic agents, gradually and safely dissolving the clot.
    • Endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of pituitary tumors — A minimally invasive procedure that removes pituitary tumors through the nasal passage using an endoscope, leaving no visible external scars.
    • Neuronavigation-assisted brain surgery — Surgical treatment for brain tumors or arteriovenous malformations, using real-time navigation to avoid critical functional areas and protect healthy brain tissue.
    • Dynamic image-guided brain biopsy — A stereotactic technique to obtain histological samples from deep-seated brain lesions that are not accessible via traditional open surgery.
    • Cerebrovascular surgery — Treatment for conditions such as brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and cerebral ischemia.
    • Head trauma surgery — Evacuation of intracranial hematomas, management of cerebral hemorrhage, and surgical repair of skull fractures.

    Spinal conditions:

    • Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) with O-arm navigation — A procedure that relieves nerve root compression and stabilizes the spine using percutaneous screw fixation, guided by O-arm 3D imaging and navigation technology.
    • Surgery for high cervical spine fractures with navigation support — Includes treatment of C2 odontoid fractures, Hangman’s fractures (C2 pars), and Jefferson fractures (C1 arch), using the O-arm system for precision.
    • Chronic lumbosacral pain treatment — Epidural steroid injections via interlaminar, transforaminal, or sacral hiatus approaches; facet joint injections to relieve inflammation and nerve compression.
    • Percutaneous vertebroplasty — A minimally invasive procedure in which bone cement is injected into fractured or collapsed vertebrae caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or metastatic cancer.

    Functional neurosurgery:

    • Surgery for hemifacial spasm — A microsurgical technique to decompress blood vessels pressing on the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), relieving involuntary facial muscle contractions.
    • Chronic head and facial pain management — Surgical decompression of the trigeminal nerve or selective nerve blocks (e.g., supraorbital, occipital, postauricular) for patients with episodic or neuropathic pain.
