Department of Neurosurgery and Spinal Surgery
Specialized in: neurosurgery, spinal surgery About the Department of Neurosurgery and Spinal Surgery at Alfried Krupp Hospital in Essen-Ruettenscheid
The Department of Neurosurgery and Spinal Surgery at the Alfried Krupp Hospital in Essen-Ruettenscheid offers high-quality surgical treatment for the full range of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. The priority areas of specialization of the medical facility include interventions on the blood vessels of the brain, peripheral nerves, surgery for brain tumor resection, skull base surgery, surgical treatment of traumatic brain injuries and chronic pain syndromes. Of particular interest is also modern surgical interventions on the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, including minimally invasive and microsurgical procedures. The department's successful clinical practice is recognized by the prestigious quality certificates of the German Society for Skull Base Surgery (GSB) and the German Society of Neurosurgery (DGNC). In addition, the department enjoys the status of one of the leading medical facilities in Germany, where extra-intracranial bypass surgery is successfully performed and minimally invasive surgical techniques are widely used. The patients' health is in the safe hands of a highly qualified team of experienced neurosurgeons who regularly demonstrate high treatment success rates. The specialists cooperate closely with neurologists and neuroradiologists of the hospital, which guarantees a comprehensive approach to medical care.
The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Florian Ebner. The specialist received his medical education in Italy, and also repeatedly trained in America. The professor can boast of over 15 years of clinical experience and more than 2,800 successful neurosurgical interventions. He enjoys an excellent reputation both in Germany and far beyond its borders.
The department's neurosurgeons specialize in resection surgery for benign and malignant brain tumors. A large number of surgical interventions are performed for the removal of meningiomas, gliomas, pituitary adenomas, acoustic neuromas and brain metastases. Brain surgery is a complex task for surgeons, since the slightest mistake can lead to damage to vital anatomical structures and the patient's disability. Therefore, the department's operating rooms have the most advanced equipment: neuronavigation systems and intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring systems, devices for stereotaxic surgery, fluorescence microscopy, etc. State-of-the-art equipment allows not only for the effective surgical treatment of brain tumors, but also for the maximum safety of the intervention for the patient.
The medical facility is certified as the Vascular Neurosurgery Center by the German Society of Neurosurgery (DGNC). In this field, doctors cooperate closely with neuroradiologists who specialize in sparing endovascular surgery. The competence of the department's neurosurgeons includes interventions for cerebral aneurysms, angiomas, vascular malformations, moyamoya disease and other pathologies.
An important clinical focus of the department's neurosurgeons is skull base surgery. These interventions are performed within the framework of a highly specialized center certified by the German Society for Skull Base Surgery (GSB). The neurosurgeons working in the center cooperate closely with otolaryngologists and maxillofacial surgeons. The department's operating rooms have all the necessary equipment to perform surgical interventions for neurinomas, craniopharyngiomas, glomus tumors, chondrosarcomas, sphenoid wing meningiomas, cerebellopontine angle tumors, etc.
The department's range of services is complemented by the surgical treatment of spinal pathologies. The department's leading spinal surgeon is certified by the German Spine Society (DWG), so patients can be sure that they trust their health to one of the best experts in the area of their specialization. The department performs surgical procedures for spinal disc herniation, spinal stenosis, degenerative and traumatic lesions of the cervical and lumbar spine, tumors and vascular malformations of the spinal extra- and intradural space, vertebral fractures and other pathologies. In most cases, spinal surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques. In addition, neuronavigation and electrophysiological monitoring are always used during interventions in order to reduce surgical risks.
