Neurosurgery

Established in October 2015 in collaboration with Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, the Department of Neurosurgery at Peking University International Hospital has evolved into a major neurosurgical center in northern Beijing. Under the leadership of Professor Zhao Yuanli’s team from Beijing Tiantan Hospital between 2015 and 2022, the department has consistently adhered to the principles of "minimally invasive surgery" and "precision medicine," while maintaining a patient-centered care model.

The Department of Neurosurgery has become a leading center that integrates clinical care, education, and research. In 2021, the department was officially designated as a National Center for Neurointerventional Capacity Building and Continuing Education by the National Health Commission. It has also gained national recognition, being nominated in the discipline of Neurosurgery by the Fudan University Hospital Ranking.

The department currently operates two inpatient zones with a total of 69 beds. It primarily manages patients with cerebrovascular diseases, intracranial and spinal tumors, spinal cord disorders, traumatic brain injuries, congenital neural malformations, hydrocephalus, and functional neurosurgical conditions—including epilepsy, disorders of consciousness, trigeminal neuralgia, and hemifacial spasm.

The department is fully equipped with state-of-the-art neurosurgical technologies, including a hybrid operating room, high-field intraoperative MRI composite operating suite, neuronavigation systems, stereotactic biopsy equipment, neuroendoscopy, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, intraoperative ultrasound, and neurosurgical robotics.

Nursing practices within the department follow international standards and incorporate the concept of early rehabilitation. Strategies such as minimizing preoperative fasting periods, encouraging early postoperative mobilization, and localized skin preparation are utilized to reduce surgical stress, prevent complications, and expedite recovery of organ function—ultimately supporting the patient’s physical and psychological healing.
