Informationen für Patienten
Please note: Depending on your insurance model, we can generally only treat patients who have been referred by their general practitioner, the telemedicine service of their health insurance, or another specialist.
To ensure a smooth consultation process, it is important that you bring the following documents with you or send them to us in advance by mail or electronically:
- Complete contact details
- Current insurance card (basic and supplementary insurance)
- Current medication list with dosages (important: blood-thinning medication?)
- Recent imaging studies (not older than 3 months): MRI, CT, or X-ray images on DVD
- Current medical reports and neurosurgical operative reports from previous surgeries
- If possible, bring a companion with you (four ears hear more than two)
A consultation usually lasts about 30–45 minutes.
If you have any questions or uncertainties, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Instructional videos
Below you will find a selection of videos on common and rare conditions, as well as surgical techniques that we frequently use. These videos are designed to provide a clear understanding of each condition and the corresponding surgical method.
Herniated Disc
A herniated disc is a common condition, affecting around 5% of people at least once in their lifetime. In this video, we explain how a herniated disc develops, what problems it can cause, and under which circumstances it becomes problematic and surgical treatment may be recommended.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Spinal canal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, most often caused by age-related changes in the spine. In this video, we explain how spinal canal stenosis develops, what problems it can lead to, and when surgical treatment may be appropriate.
Cervical spinal stenosis and Myelopathy
Cervical spinal canal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck region, most often caused by age-related changes of the spine. In this video, we explain how spinal canal stenosis develops, what problems it can cause, and when surgical treatment may be appropriate.
Anterior microdiscectomy and arthroplasty (ACDF, ACDA)
In this video, we explain the surgical principle of ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion) for the treatment of degenerative conditions of the cervical spine.
Principles of minimally-invasive spinal surgery
In this video, we explain the principles of minimally invasive spinal procedures that we use in our practice.
Endoscopic spine surgery
In this video, we explain the principles of endoscopic spinal procedures that we use in our practice.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS)
In this video, we explain spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as a treatment option for chronic back pain and neuropathic pain.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
In this video, we explain the condition of trigeminal neuralgia and the possible treatment options.
High-precision Neurosurgery
In this video, we explain the principles and applications of highly precise neurosurgical techniques for the treatment of brain tumors and epileptic foci.
Laserablation (LITT)
In this video, we explain the principles and applications of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) for the minimally invasive treatment of brain tumors and epileptic foci.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
In this video series, we explain the principles and applications of deep brain stimulation (DBS).
