About the department

The Department of Spinal Surgery at the Hirslanden Salem-Spital Bern offers the full range of modern conservative techniques and surgical interventions for the treatment of spinal diseases. The department has the status of one of the largest specialized medical facilities of this kind in Switzerland. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Ulrich Berlemann.

The competent team of specialized doctors, physiotherapists and nurses cooperate closely for the benefit of their patients, applying all their clinical experience and expert knowledge for the restoration of back health. If possible, the doctors try to solve the problem using conservative methods, but in the case of absence of positive dynamics, they resort to surgery. Any therapeutic measures are prescribed individually, according to the medical history and diagnostic data of a particular patient.

The first stage of treatment is a consultation with a doctor, during which the patient tells in detail about his complaints, the type of pain syndrome, its location, previous injuries or spinal diseases, etc. Taking into account all the history data, the doctor will prescribe the necessary diagnostic examinations, including imaging – classical radiography and radiography with functional tests, CT, MRI, myelography. Based on the diagnostic results, the specialist will develop the most effective treatment regimen, which he will discusses with the patient and explain all the stages of upcoming treatment in an accessible manner.

It is worth noting that the department's operating rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art surgical microscopes, endoscopic systems, intraoperative navigation devices and intraoperative neuromonitoring, due to which all surgical procedures can be performed with maximum accuracy. The use of such progressive systems excludes damage to functionally important anatomical structures, which plays a key role in spinal surgery.

  • Conservative treatment methods
    • Physiotherapy
    • Manual therapy
