HÔPITAL CREMONA LARGO PRIORI

The Ospedale di Cremona is a hospital located in Cremona. It offers a range of medical and surgical services, including specialized procedures such as awake surgery. This neurosurgical technique is used to treat brain tumors located in critical areas of the brain where higher functions such as movement and language are located. The Cremona hospital has been using this technique since 2019, and recently performed its fiftieth case. Thanks to this technique, surgeons can use real-time cortical mapping to preserve the patient's essential functions and act accordingly to maintain a good quality of life. The Cremona hospital treats around 120 brain tumors every year, making it a highly specialized activity given the rarity of these pathologies. Patients undergoing awake surgery are accompanied throughout the process to prepare them for the procedure and put them at ease. The medical team at Cremona Hospital is made up of professionals who specialize in this type of complex intervention, requiring close collaboration between several medical specialties.
