Neurosurgeon with dedicated expertise in complex spine surgery and the

comprehensive management of cerebrovascular disease, integrating advanced

microsurgical and state-of-the-art endovascular techniques. Currently practicing as a

neurosurgeon and neurointerventional surgeon in several Hospitals of Malaga and

Costa del Sol: Hospital Hospiten Estepona, Hospital Internacional HM Santa Elena,

Hospital Vithas Xanit Internacional.

Advanced National and International Training

Completed neurosurgical residency at Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla, a

nationally recognized referral center for neurosurgery.

Subspecialty training in open and endovascular cerebrovascular therapy at leading

international institutions:

• Fellowship in Vascular Neurosurgery and Neurointervention at Hospital Universitario Vall d’Hebron, under the mentorship of internationally recognized leaders in cerebrovascular surgery.
• Fellowship in Neurointervention at Clínica Sagrada Familia (ENERI), under Prof. Pedro Lylyk, a globally renowned center for complex endovascular therapies. European board-certified training pathway through the European Board Examination

in Neurological Surgery (EBE NS), with multiple specialty modules completed (spine, tumor, functional, trauma, vascular). Additional advanced training through the European Course of Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (ECMINT). Member of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies and the Sociedad Española de Neurocirugía.

Areas of Expertise

🔹 Spine Surgery

• Cervical and lumbar disc herniation
• Spinal canal stenosis
• Spondylolisthesis
• Minimally invasive spine surgery
• Complex spinal instrumentation with navigation guidance
• Spinal tumors and deformity

Active participation in international multicenter studies evaluating minimally invasive lumbar fusion techniques and clinical outcomes in degenerative spine disease.

🔹 Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery

• Brain aneurysms (microsurgical clipping and endovascular coiling)
• Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
• Dural arteriovenous fistulas
• Chronic subdural hematoma
• Hydrocephalus
• Acute ischemic stroke (endovascular treatment)

A hybrid surgical approach allows tailored decision-making: open microsurgery, endovascular therapy, or combined single-session strategies when indicated.
