China's Neurosurgery Sector: Global Standing
China has emerged as a global leader in neurosurgery through high-volume expertise and technological innovation. According to Journal of Neurosurgery and CNS Global Reports (2023):
Key Strengths:
✔ Cerebrovascular Excellence: 95% clip occlusion rate for complex aneurysms
✔ Neuro-Oncology Innovation: Fluorescence-guided resection improving GBM survival by 40%
✔ Spinal Robotics: Domestic "NeuroBot" systems in 78% of top hospitals
✔ Traditional Integration: Modified Gastrodia compounds for post-op neural recovery
While Western centers lead in rare genetic disorders, China dominates:
High-volume trauma centers
Endoscopic skull base surgery
Cost-effective neuro-modulation
