The Department of Neurosurgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital has a long history and is one of the earliest departments to engage in neurosurgery in China. As early as the 1930s, pioneers in Chinese neurosurgery, Professors Guan Songtao and Zhao Yicheng, conducted the first brain tumor surgeries at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Subsequently, renowned neurosurgeons such as Professors Feng Chuanyi, Wang Weijun, and Yin Zhaoyan made significant contributions to the development and expansion of the neurosurgery department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, actively promoting the advancement of neurosurgery in China.
Currently, the Department of Neurosurgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital is divided into specialized groups focusing on sellar tumors, malignant tumors, spinal cord and spine, functional neurosurgery, skull base tumors, and acute critical care. The pituitary adenoma group is a specialty group that has performed over 8,000 pituitary adenoma surgeries, achieving treatment outcomes that are internationally advanced and domestically leading. Based on the overall advantages of the department and its excellent diagnostic and therapeutic results, the Pituitary Tumor Neurosurgery Treatment Center was established in 2002.
