Neurosurgical facilities at Elizavet

Successful neurosurgery begins with precise diagnosis and planning. At Elizavet, we use a cutting-edge Siemens CT scanner that delivers exceptional image quality. This advanced imaging technology allows us to visualise disc herniations, spinal abnormalities, and other neurological pathologies with remarkable precision. High-resolution CT scans enable our team to create tailored, effective surgical plans, ensuring every patient receives the best possible care. 

Our advanced neurosurgical procedures are performed in a dedicated, fully equipped surgical theatre with the following features:

  • A state-of-the-art ventilator and advanced monitoring systems for maximum anaesthetic safety.
  • An intraoperative direct X-ray system that confirms correct entry into the spinal space, optimising precision and minimising intraoperative complications.
  • Electrocautery equipment to effectively manage bleeding and improve surgical outcomes. 

Postoperative recovery is essential for achieving the best results in neurosurgery. At Elizavet, your pet will benefit from care provided by our postgraduate-qualified veterinary physiotherapist, who works closely with the surgical team to design individualised rehabilitation plans. This expert-led physiotherapy ensures a safe, effective recovery, restoring mobility and improving overall quality of life for your pet.
