The department is certified by the German Spine Society as a specialized Level II Center. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Francis Kilian.
The department's surgeons have a perfect command of all surgical techniques and widely apply in their practice sparing minimally invasive interventions, which are distinguished by minimal pain, low risk of complications and rapid recovery of the patient.
