            onconeurosurgery and minimally invasive spinal surgery. The NCH clinic participates in pre
            on pathophysiological processes as well as in the synthesis of new potential drugs, and is

            the improvement of surgical techniques and the introduction of new surgical procedures. In
            spinal disorders, the clinic is one of the centres of highly specialised spondylosurgical 
            Republic. It focuses mainly on the development of minimally invasive spinal techniques, in
