Diagnosis: Treatment of epilepsy

I liked the stay in this good clinic with a high level of service. The staff is very friendly. There is a translator from Spanish to Russian, she came along with the doctor. The doctor came even on days when he should not be in the clinic. The only negative thing is that after the end of hospitalization, we needed to extend our stay, because we wanted to hear the opinion of the doctor, and it cost us 500 euros per day. In general, I have very positive impressions from the clinic, doctor, and foreign department. A week later we had a Skype call with a doctor, he prescribed a treatment. We will wait for the results.

Editorial Policy Experts Medical

Is it possible to cure cancer in Teknon?

Teknon Institute of Oncology: Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer Diagnosis and treatment of all types of cancer in adults and children are carried out at the Teknon Cancer Institute. In this major world-class oncology center, patients have access to all the latest methods for diagnosing and treating cancer. This is possible thanks to cooperation with the American Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as well. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is considered the number one hospital in the world in the field of cancer treatment.

Cancer treatment at Teknon is carried out in departments specialized in specific types of cancer. They are led by leading specialists who regularly undergo internships at MSK. In accordance with the American standards for cancer treatment, doctors provide radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.

Cancer surgery at the Teknon Oncology Institute is a minimally invasive operation. Surgeons perform them using laparoscopic and endoscopic equipment. Tumors of the prostate, uterus, and intestines are removed using the Da Vinci robotic surgeon. Bone marrow transplantation for oncohematological diseases has been put on stream. Patients have access to donor material from European bone marrow and stem cell banks.

An interdisciplinary personalized approach to each cancer case allows the oncology team to develop an effective treatment plan for each patient. In most cases, this is an American therapy protocol with proven efficacy.

Doctors treat cancer with high-tech equipment. All types of radiotherapy (IGRT, IMRT, VMAT) are performed by specialists on the latest generation TrueBeam STx linear accelerator. With the help of this device, radiosurgery (SRS) is performed. This is the non-surgical treatment of hard-to-reach and inoperable tumors, as well as metastases.

Cancer treatment at the Teknon Oncology Institute gives patients a chance for a complete recovery in stage I-II cancer, long-term remission in stage III cancer, and life extension with satisfactory quality in stage IV of the disease.

Does it make sense to come to Teknon for the treatment of advanced cancer?

At Teknon, doctors provide effective treatment for advanced forms of cancer of the stomach, intestines, peritoneum, and ovary. Peritoneal carcinomatosis (metastasis to the peritoneum) often occurs with these cancers.

Doctors perform a complex procedure called cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). They remove all tumor foci and treat the abdominal cavity with a hot solution of a chemotherapy drug. This method allows destroying all cancer cells and prolonging the life of a patient with metastatic cancer.

What methods of diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy are used at Teknon?

Diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy at Teknon In the Teknon clinic, patients of all ages with this pathology are accepted by the Epilepsy Institute. According to the international classification of the American National Association of Epileptic Centers (NAEC), this is the highest center of the fourth level.

A team of specialists such as neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, neuropsychologists, and psychiatrists works in a highly specialized center known in Europe. A unique world-class specialist with extensive experience and an epileptologist, professor Antonio Russi consult difficult cases.

To confirm the diagnosis and clarify the form of epilepsy, the following studies are used:

MRI 3-Tesla (magnetic resonance imaging) according to a special protocol;
functional MRI;
SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography);
24-hour video-EEG monitoring while taking antiepileptic drugs;
various neurophysiological studies with mapping of brain zones;
neuropsychological tests.

An interdisciplinary personalized approach allows choosing an effective drug treatment. Doctors eliminate seizures even in difficult cases of epilepsy. For example, in young children, pregnant women, and the elderly, with rare forms of the disease.

If the latest drugs and a ketogenic diet do not help, high-tech neurosurgical treatment methods are used:

neuromodulating operations – vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation (DBS), response neurostimulation;
laser ablation (destruction) of epilepsy foci;
resection (removal) of epileptogenic foci.

All interventions are performed by qualified neurosurgeons using minimally invasive techniques. Therefore, complications are minimized, and the rehabilitation period is short.

In addition to effective treatment, the Institute provides counseling on all issues related to the quality of life of patients with epilepsy.

What check-ups are available in Teknon?

Teknon: check-up In Teknon, you can undergo a comprehensive examination in one day – a check-up using the most modern technologies. With the help of check-ups, doctors detect early signs of diseases and determine the risk factors for many serious diseases.

Teknon offers five types of check-ups:

complex;
oncological;
cardiological;
sports;

The check-up is carried out by a specialist. Based on basic check-ups, he creates a personalized examination program. In this case, the doctor takes into account the gender, age, and personal and family medical history of the patient. He also gives final recommendations based on the results of the check-up.

What technologies are used in Technon for diagnosing heart diseases?

Technon: diagnosis of heart diseases The following diagnostic methods are used at the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases in Teknon:

3-D EchoCG (three-dimensional echocardiography). Transthoracic and transesophageal 3-D echocardiography allows for accurately assessing the condition of the heart valves, including after performing prosthetics, the condition of the atria, to identify congenital malformations and intracardiac tumors.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging of the heart). Teknon has a special MR scanner for cardiac examinations with 3-D reconstruction of color images.
Coronary multidetector computed coronary angiography (MD-CT). MD-CT scanner with 64 detectors of the latest generation allows assessing the patency of the coronary arteries of the heart without coronary angiography (vascular catheterization).
PET-CT. A hybrid study combining positron emission and computed tomography reveals areas of the heart muscle that are not functioning.

High-tech diagnostics in Teknon allows cardiologists to accurately assess the condition of the heart and blood vessels, and control the treatment process.

How are cardiovascular diseases treated at Teknon?

Technon: treatment of cardiovascular diseases Treatment at the Teknon Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases is carried out by an interdisciplinary team of specialists in the following areas: cardiology, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, electrophysiology and arrhythmia, interventional cardiology, and cardiovascular rehabilitation.

Medical and surgical procedures are performed in a hybrid operating room. This is a high-tech operating unit, which can simultaneously perform open, minimally invasive, and endovascular interventions of any complexity.

X-ray angiographic devices, CT and MR tomographs, and ultrasound scanners are united by a common control. During operations, cardiac surgeons use videography, angiography, fluorescent navigation, and CT imaging. This ensures the accuracy and minimal invasiveness of all manipulations.

In this operating room, several interventions can be performed on the patient during one anesthesia. For example, stenting of coronary vessels during open surgery on the aorta. Or balloon angioplasty with coronary artery bypass grafting and valve repair. The result of the operation is checked immediately, on the spot, using angiography, echocardiography, and other studies.

In Teknon, aortocoronary bypass grafting on a beating heart, operations without blood transfusions, and endovascular (using catheterization of blood vessels) prosthetics of an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta are put on stream (this approach reduces the risk of postoperative complications). Heart and vascular surgeries on patients who have been rejected by other clinics due to increased complexity are performed in Teknon.
