About the author
Professor Dr Tadej Strojnik is a neurosurgeon. He has worked in neurosurgical departments in Slovenia, France and Germany. After many years in the neurosurgical department of the University Hospital Maribor in Slovenia, where he introduced stereotactic surgery and neuromodulatory treatments such as spinal cord stimulation, deep brain stimulation and the intrathecal pump for the treatment of spasticity, he moved to Marseille, France. He focussed mainly on Gamma Knife therapy at the renowned La Timone clinic. He later moved to Rendsburg, Germany, where he continued his general and spinal neurosurgery work. In 2021, he started his private neurosurgical practice and now works mainly in private clinics. In addition to his clinical work, he is actively involved in research and teaching. He is a full professor of surgery at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Maribor and lectures at the Alma Mater Europaea University of Maribor. During his time at the University Hospital Maribor, he established a productive cooperation with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Maribor in cranial reconstruction, and together, they also introduced a new microdrive, which is essential for performing deep brain stimulation surgery. In the field of research, he also collaborated with the National Institute of Biology on brain tumour research.
O avtorju
Profesor dr. Tadej Strojnik je nevrokirurg. Delal je na nevrokirurških oddelkih v Sloveniji, Franciji in Nemčiji. Po dolgih letih na nevrokirurškem oddelku UKC Maribor v Sloveniji, kjer je uvedel stereotaktično kirurgijo in nevromodulatorne tretmaje, kot so stimulacija hrbtenjače, globoka možganska stimulacija in intratekalna črpalka za zdravljenje spastičnosti, se je preselil v Marseille v Franciji. Osredotočil se je predvsem na terapijo Gamma Knife na priznani kliniki La Timone. Kasneje se je preselil v Rendsburg v Nemčiji, kjer je nadaljeval svoje splošno in spinalno nevrokirurgijo. Leta 2021 je začel svojo zasebno nevrokirurško prakso in zdaj dela pretežno v zasebnih klinikah. Poleg kliničnega dela se aktivno ukvarja z raziskovalnim in pedagoškim delom. Je redni profesor kirurgije na Medicinski fakulteti Univerze v Mariboru in predava na Univerzi Alma Mater Europaea v Mariboru. V času svojega delovanja v UKC Maribor je vzpostavil plodno sodelovanje s Fakulteto za strojništvo v Mariboru pri rekonstrukciji lobanje, skupaj pa sta uvedla tudi nov mikropogon, ki je nujen za izvajanje operacij globoke možganske stimulacije. Na raziskovalnem področju je sodeloval tudi z Nacionalnim inštitutom za biologijo pri raziskavah možganskih tumorjev.
