Under the auspices of the National Priority Project «Public Health» started in 2006, it was planned to build 7 federal medical centers of high technologies in Russian regions and also the Federal Research and Surgery Center of Children's hematology, oncology and immunology in Moscow (by the order of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 20, 2006 №139). Then the number of such institutions increased to 14, two of them was planned for the neurosurgery direction (in Tyumen and Novosibirsk).

The Tyumen center was the first of the neurosurgery and the seventh of the general ticket of the federal centers. The so-called «medical camp», near the village of Patrusheva was picked out for the building site. There was also the surgical campus of the Tyumen regional hospital and the medical unit «Neftyanik». In addition, in 2012 there was built the Radiological center of the Tyumen regional oncological clinic. Also it is planned to construct new academic building of the Tyumen State medical academy, the anatomical center and also the main campus of the regional oncological clinic.

The construction of the Tyumen center started in 2008. The first surgery was held at the April 25, 2011. In 2011 the clinic was allocated with 330 surgery quotas within the government procurement, in 2012 – 3,000 quotas.

The oncology department explores the Norwegian system of dynamic 3D neuronavigation SonoWand. The intraoperative neuromonitor ISIS IOM of the German company Inomed Medizintechnik applied in the functional neurosurgery department helps to conduct the chips-stimulators implantation which are used for the vagus nerve stimulation. The patients can turn off the painful sensation at any point using remote control.
