European association of neurosurgical societies (EANS) 2025

The SPMC Neurosurgery represents the Philippines for the 3rd consecutive year at the 2025 European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) held in Vienna, Austria last October 5-9, 2025.

Dr. Joselv Albano, together with Dr. Jose Nicanor Del Rosario III, presented at the congress plenary their work on a new surgical approach for the repair of congenital frontoethmoidal meningoencephaloceles. This new approach aims to streamline the surgical, social, and economic costs of the procedure and overall outcomes of these cases. They also presented their other research on vertex epidural hematomas to improve surgical decision making and outcomes for this rare type of brain injury.

The EANS Congress is Europe’s largest neurosurgical gathering with attendees from all around the globe to discuss the latest innovations and discoveries in the field of Neurosurgery.

Our thrust for research is aimed at improving the quality of patient care and outcomes that we deliver for our patients at SPMC. As we continue our call to service, we have scheduled the next congenital surgical mission on the first quarter of 2026. If you or anyone you know requires treatment for congenital frontoethmoidal meningoencephaloceles please visit the Neurosurgery OPD every Monday and Friday 1-3pm for a free consult.
