Kornev Alexey Pavlovich

Specialization and professional skills:

Key areas of the doctor’s work

• Spinal surgery and therapy: treatment of osteochondrosis and herniated intervertebral discs using both conservative and minimally invasive surgical techniques.
• Treatment of the consequences of injuries: recovery of patients after brain and spinal cord injuries, as well as peripheral nerve damage. Special emphasis is placed on treating the consequences of birth brain injuries.
• Vascular pathology: rehabilitation and treatment of complications of acute cerebrovascular accidents (strokes).
• Functional neurology: help with complex conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia (debilitating facial pain), as well as treatment of enuresis and sexual dysfunction of neurogenic origin.
• Pathology of the peripheral nervous system: treatment of polyneuritis and neuritis of various origins.

Why patients choose Dr Kornev

In their reviews, patients invariably emphasise two qualities of Alexey Pavlovich: the highest professionalism and human attentiveness. He is not just a surgeon who masterfully handles microinstruments, but a doctor who knows how to listen. At the appointment he explains the essence of the pathology in detail, in simple and accessible language, outlines the plan of the upcoming treatment and honestly answers all questions, even the most difficult ones. The patient’s peace of mind and the absence of “blank spots” in their understanding of the diagnosis is one of Dr Kornev’s priorities.

By entrusting your health to Alexey Pavlovich, you get a doctor who looks at the disease not only through the lens of a microscope, but also through the prism of evidence-based medicine and his own unique scientific developments.

Work experience:

Science as the foundation of mastery

Dr Kornev’s path is one of constant development. Having received an honours diploma from Stavropol State Medical University, he did not stop at mastering the compulsory basics. A thirst for knowledge led him to the country’s leading federal centres. He completed his residency in neurosurgery at the renowned Almazov National Medical Research Centre in St Petersburg — a forge of personnel for high-tech medicine.

Understanding that a neurosurgeon must feel equally confident both under the operating microscope and in the world of complex imaging, Alexey Pavlovich mastered narrow but critically important disciplines: he completed a microsurgery course at the Pavlov First St Petersburg State Medical University and advanced training in spinal surgery at the Vreden Research Institute.

However, true talent shows in the desire not only to apply knowledge, but to create new knowledge. In 2025 Alexey Pavlovich successfully defended his thesis and received the degree of Candidate of Medical Sciences. The pinnacle of his scientific research was the creation of his own minimally invasive method of surgical treatment of Chiari malformation, protected by a state patent. This development is not just a line in a CV, but a real contribution to world practice, making it possible to treat a complex pathology with less trauma and faster recovery.

Nerve therapy: from enuresis to complex reconstructions

Alexey Pavlovich’s professional interests cover the entire spectrum of nervous system lesions — from delicate functional disorders to gross organic pathologies. He works equally successfully with the consequences of birth injuries and with the aftermath of the most severe strokes and road accidents.

Neurosurgery is a terra incognita where a doctor’s mastery is measured not only by virtuoso handling of instruments, but also by the ability to think ahead, calculating the consequences of every intervention. Alexey Pavlovich Kornev is a representative of the new wave of Russian neurosurgery, a specialist whose professional signature is a combination of academic depth, refined microsurgical technique and a caring attitude to every patient.
