About Professor Dr. med. habil. Dr. med. Dr. Konstantinos Gousias

A major advantage of the Athens Medical Center is the close interdisciplinary collaboration between various specialized departments and academic staff members who have been appointed to additional academic positions at renowned university centers in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This ensures precise and comprehensive care for patients with neurological and neurosurgical conditions such as brain tumors, strokes, cerebral hemorrhages, brain injuries, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal disorders, and traumatic injuries to the brain and spinal cord. Here, neurosurgeons, neurologists, anesthesiologists, neuroradiologists, radiologists, and other specialists work closely together to provide holistic care. The focus is on the patients’ needs and concerns, and great importance is placed on open communication and individualized care. The experts at the AMC take the time to thoroughly examine each patient, make a diagnosis, and work with the patient to develop a customized treatment plan.

The neurosurgical operating rooms at the AMC are state-of-the-art and fully equipped, which allows the neurosurgical team led by Prof. Dr. Dr. Gousias to perform innovative minimally invasive procedures in the fields of oncological and vascular neurosurgery as well as spinal surgery. Furthermore, in addition to current established therapies, our patients also have access to numerous additional experimental therapies, particularly for the treatment of brain tumors. It is noteworthy that the department headed by Prof. Dr. Dr. Gousias is the only Greek neurosurgical department that is an institute of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer ( EORTC).

Active in Research and Teaching

In addition to his clinical work, Chief Physician Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Gousias is also active in research and teaching. He has published numerous book chapters and scientific articles and is personally involved in the editorial boards of various renowned journals.

Through his commitment to teaching and training young medical students and physicians, he contributes to the further development and improvement of university education and medical care. He has been awarded the “venia legendi” (authorization to teach at the university level) by the medical faculties of the Universities of Bonn, Münster, and Nicosia.

In addition, Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Gousias possesses extensive management expertise and is a certified healthcare manager as well as a specialist in quality management. His research focuses on experimental and clinical neuro-oncology, neuroimmunology, and neurovascular research. Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Gousias is also a member of various national and international scientific committees and professional societies, including the Neuro-Oncology Section of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS), the EANS Global and Humanitarian Committee, the EANS Individual Membership Committee, the Neuro-Oncology Section of the European Society for Neurosurgery, the Neuro-Oncology Section of the EORTC (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer), the German and EuropeanSociety for Neurosurgery, the German Society for Neurointensive Care and Emergency Medicine, the German Spine Society, and the German Association of Universities.

Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Konstantinos Gousias is a highly competent and dedicated physician who is greatly appreciated by his patients. His expertise and commitment to providing first-class medical care make him an excellent choice for patients who require high-quality neurosurgical treatment. Patients appreciate Prof. Dr. Dr. med.
