About the department
The Department of Spinal Surgery at the ATOS Fleetinsel Clinic Hamburg offers the full range of conservative and surgical treatments for spinal diseases. It provides medical care for patients with spinal disc herniation, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, facet joint syndrome, scoliosis, vertebral fractures, and other pathologies. The specialists have many effective conservative treatment methods at their disposal, including drug therapy, therapeutic exercises, massage, cryotherapy, thermotherapy, laser therapy, and electrotherapy. The healthcare facility also successfully performs spinal blocks. These are interventional procedures, during which an anesthetic drug is injected into the pathological lesion with a special needle under imaging guidance. The therapeutic options are complemented by a wide range of surgical procedures. The physicians in the department strive to provide the patient with the most effective and least invasive surgical treatment. Therefore, they use minimally invasive, microsurgical, and endoscopic techniques in their clinical practice. Treatment complies with the recommendations of the German Spine Society (DWG). Each clinical case is considered on an individual basis to ensure the best possible outcomes.
The Head Physician of the department is PD Dr. med. Michael Muschik. The specialist has deep knowledge in the field of spine surgery and has more than 30 years of successful clinical practice. According to the Focus magazine, Dr. Michael Muschik is one of the best spinal surgeons in Germany.
The department specializes in the treatment of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar disc herniations. Patients with cervical disc herniations experience dull or sharp pain in the neck or between the shoulder blades, pain radiating to the arm, and numbness and tingling in the shoulders or arms. In some cases, dizziness, headaches, and tinnitus may develop. In most cases, conservative treatment with painkillers and physiotherapeutic measures is sufficient to relieve pain. For patients with cervical disc herniation, periradicular therapy (PRT) is often recommended for pain relief. This manipulation involves injecting an anesthetic into the pathological focus with a special thin needle under CT guidance. PRT is performed on an outpatient basis, in collaboration with radiologists. The last-line treatment is surgery. The department's specialists perform microsurgical ventral spinal fusion with the implantation of a PEEK intervertebral cage system.
The department also regularly treats patients with thoracic disc herniations. The main manifestation of this type of hernia is pain between the shoulder blades in the upper back. The pathology also often causes symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and a rapid heartbeat. When a thoracic disc herniation is detected, the department's doctors are faced with the task of eliminating the pain syndrome. For this purpose, they use drug treatment, physiotherapy, and exercise therapy. The optimal set of therapeutic measures for the patient is prescribed on an individual basis. Surgery may be performed only if the hernia causes compression in the spinal cord and nerve endings or there is a risk of developing paraplegia. Surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques.
Lumbar disc herniations are the most common in the clinical practice of spinal surgeons in the department. The pathology causes severe pain in the lower back, burning, numbness, and tingling in the groin area, legs, thighs, and buttocks, and severe mobility restrictions. In most cases, the department's specialists can help the patient with conservative methods without surgery. During the therapeutic process, they use drug treatment with painkillers, exercise therapy, relaxation methods, massage, manual therapy, and physiotherapy. If clinically indicated, the department's doctors, together with radiologists, perform spinal blocks under imaging guidance. The treatment lasts 8-12 weeks. In advanced stages, lumbar disc herniations do not always respond well to conservative therapy, and surgery may be necessary. The department performs minimally invasive operations for lumbar disc herniations using microsurgical techniques.
The medical facility offers the full range of conservative and surgical treatments for scoliosis, which is a lateral curvature of the spinal column relative to its axis. Mild forms of scoliosis are not dangerous, but as the pathology progresses, chest deformities may develop with damage to the internal organs (heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, or kidneys), pelvic deformities, etc. The specialists of the department conduct a comprehensive examination and, based on the diagnostic data obtained, develop an individual treatment regimen for the patient. The main conservative treatments include exercise therapy, physiotherapy, and correction with a special corset. For complex forms of scoliosis, the department's spinal surgeons perform surgical correction.
The department's clinical focuses include the following:
- Conservative and surgical treatment of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar disc herniations
- Conservative and surgical treatment of spinal stenosis
- Conservative and surgical treatment of spondylolisthesis
- Conservative and surgical treatment of facet joint syndrome
- Conservative and surgical treatment of scoliosis
- Conservative and surgical treatment of vertebral fractures
- Conservative and surgical treatment of other spinal diseases
