Neurosurgery

back to Neurocenter

We treat patients with diseases of the brain, spine, spinal and peripheral nerves. We offer surgical treatment for diseases which cannot be cured using conservative methods. As a medical center with full-service health care, we provide a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures on the latest developments in research and technology. In providing optimal medical care, the focus is on the individual patient. Coordination of the treatment of each patient with his/her individual needs is important to us to facilitate recovery.

Comprehensive medical and nursing care is rendered possible by the close proximity to and the collaboration with the other neuro-medicine departments under the roof of the Neurocenter. You as a patient will benefit from the outpatient as well as the inpatient treatment and consulting services.

High quality service is our primary goal. To achieve this high quality standard and meet the requirements of optimal patient care, efficiency as well as future-oriented research and teaching, we have established an elaborate quality management system in our department. This guarantees constant development in all areas to obtain the best possible care of our patients and outstanding achievements in research and teaching.

Due to a variety of research projects we ensure the best possible diagnostics, treatment and recovery of our long-term patients. Only future-oriented research creates high quality medical standards.
