The Department of Neurosurgery at Huashan Hospital, affiliated with Fudan University, is regarded as the gold standard of Chinese brain surgery. As one of the cradles of neurosurgery in China, Huashan has deep historical heritage and strong clinical strength, leading the country and gaining international recognition in brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases and functional neurosurgery.
History and legacy
The Department of Neurosurgery at Huashan Hospital was established in the 1950s, making it one of the earliest neurosurgery departments in China. Over the decades, generations of specialists have accumulated rich experience in treating brain tumors, cerebral aneurysms, pituitary tumors and trigeminal neuralgia, trained a large number of neurosurgeons, and extended its academic influence across China and Asia.
Areas of strength and technology
The department leads in micro-neurosurgery, neuroendoscopic surgery, cerebrovascular intervention, and functional neurosurgery such as deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease. Thousands of complex surgeries are performed each year, with outcomes and safety recognized by peers at home and abroad.
Advice for international patients
Neurosurgical conditions are often complex. Before traveling to China, international patients are advised to prepare imaging data (MRI, CT, DSA, etc.) and complete medical records, and make appointments through formal channels.
