Giuseppe Pepa PhD

Giuseppe Maria Della Pepa is a Specialist in Neurosurgery and 1st level Medical Director at the Complex Neurosurgery Operating Unit of the A. Gemelli University Hospital in Rome. He has participated in over 3000 neurosurgical operations, of which more than 2000 as first operator. is the Neurosurgeon contact for radio-surgery (CyberKnife) at the Gemelli Polyclinic in the Tiber Island detachment. The main interest is the treatment of oncological brain diseases and adult hydrocephalus. In the spinal field, he is interested in degenerative pathologies of the spine ( herniated disc, stenosis, lumbar pain, listhesis) with an II-level master's degree in complex approaches to craniocervical pathology.

At the Gemelli Polyclinic, he works with a multidisciplinary team of specialists with the availability of the most modern technologies for the treatment of cerebral and spinal pathologies (navigation systems, intraoperative fluorescence, neurophysiological monitoring, awake surgery). He is one of the leading neurosurgeons at the Gemelli Polyclinic to use advanced techniques for the treatment of brain tumors for more radical and safer surgery, including the use of intraoperative fluorescence techniques, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, brain 'mapping' and awake surgery for the treatment of lesions of the speech areas. He has completed several training periods at the most important European and US neurosurgery centers which have allowed him to evaluate and assimilate different approaches to the pathology of the cerebral and spinal oncological patient.

He is a Professor of Neurosurgery at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart at the Faculty of Medicine and the Specialization Schools of Neurosurgery and Neuropsychology and one of the Scientific Managers of the Tumor Board of the Agostino Gemelli University Polyclinic Foundation, a multidisciplinary meeting for the management of cases of oncological pathology cerebral.
