Center for Spine and Neurosurgery

The Center for Spine and Neurosurgery offers the entire spectrum of modern treatment for the spinal column. An area of emphasis is placed on spinal puncture surgery using local anesthesia which reduces and prevents the necessity of a more invasive operation. If this type of minimally invasive surgery does not provide promising results, then state-of-the-art endoscopic (keyhole surgery) and microsurgical operation techniques will be utilized.
