• Myocardial scintigraphy

    Myocardial scintigraphy can be used to determine a circulatory disorder of the heart muscle. In the process, a mildly radioactive substance is administered internally when a patient is at rest and when their heart is working harder due to physical exertion or medication.

  • Myoma

    Benign node protruding from the wall of the uterus.

  • Narrowing of the mitral valves

    The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. It consists of two soft leaflets, a rear one and a frontal one. They are fixed to the papillary muscles by the chordae tendinae (tendinous cords), which control the closing movement of the leaflets.

  • Necrosis

    Death of cells in living tissue caused by injury or disease.

  • Neoadjuvant therapy

    Treatment to reduce the tumour mass before a planned operative procedure, e.g. to reduce the size of the tumour.

  • Nephrectomy

    Surgical removal of the kidneys. A radical nephrectomy involves the removal of the entire kidney; in a partial nephrectomy, only the tissue compromised by the tumour is removed, leaving a part of the kidney behind.

  • Neural

    Affecting the nervous system.

  • Neurinoma

    This tumour is usually benign and slow-growing, and it originates from the peripheral nervous system.

  • Neuromodulation

    A malfunction in the bladder and sphincter muscle control can be effectively corrected through electrical stimulation of the spinal cord nerves.

  • Neuromonitoring

    The technical monitoring of one or more types of nerve activity during a surgical procedure.

  • Neurovascular

    Affecting the nerves and arteries.
