Dr Ales Aliashkevich

Mr Ales Aliashkevich is a highly skilled neurosurgeon, specialising in the surgical treatment of conditions involving the brain, spine and peripheral nerves. His conservative philosophy aims to avoid surgery whenever possible by lifestyle modification and non-operative treatment in the first line. However, when all therapy options are exhausted, less aggressive ‘keyhole-type' interventions can provide a better solution than traditional surgery.

 

His more than 30 years of experience in minimally invasive neurosurgery and more recent decade of developing image-guided and robotic strategies have proven the validity of this approach. Spinal fusions are increasingly replaced by motion-preserving interventions, which achieve a faster return to normal activities and provide higher patient satisfaction in the long term.

 

He received the degree of Doctor of Medicine with a grade "magna cum laude" from the Rhine Friedrich-Wilhelms University of Bonn, Germany, in 1997 for his work in the field of epilepsy surgery. He completed his neurosurgical specialist training in Bonn and was awarded a Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training (CCST) by the Specialist Training Authority (STA) of the Royal College of Surgeons, United Kingdom. In 2008, he was awarded a fellowship from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.

 

Mr Aliashkevich has accomplished a Cerebrovascular Fellowship in the Royal Melbourne Hospital. He has published numerous clinical and scientific papers in peer-reviewed medical journals and presented at international meetings.

 

Mr Aliashkevich has worked as a Consultant Neurosurgeon in Wellington, New Zealand, from 2005 till 2001 and was appointed as a Senior Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Otago, Wellington. He was appointed as a Consultant Neurosurgeon at the Royal Melbourne Hospital between 2012 and 2017.

 

Mr Aliashkevich is now engaged in private practice in Victoria. He consults in Surrey Hills, Moonee Ponds, Mornington, Frankston, Dandenong, Sunbury, Wantirna, Heidelberg and Werribee. He operates at the Epworth, Warringal and Peninsula Private Hospitals.
