The department has a neurosurgical operating room equipped with ultramodern equipment in accordance with the best European standards (operating microscope, computer navigation station, motor systems, ultrasonic disintegrator, video endoscopic equipment, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, etc.).

There are 15 beds of a neurological profile in the structure of the department.

On the basis of the department in cooperation with leading researchers of North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov and Russian Research Institute named after A.L.
