About the department
The Department of Spinal Surgery at the Orthopedic Center Munich East Munich offers the full range of accurate diagnostics and effective treatment of spinal diseases. The competence of the department's specialists includes minimally invasive spinal surgeries using microsurgical techniques, conservative methods for spinal diseases, intervertebral disc replacement surgery, corrective, stabilizing and dynamic interventions. The diagnostics usually involves the use of magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, as well as myelography. The department is one of the best medical facilities in the area of its specialization, which is confirmed by the high treatment success rates.
The department is headed by Dr. med. Samer Ismail. He is a leading specialist in spine surgery in Germany, which is confirmed by the certificate of the "Spinal Neurosurgeon" of the German Society of Neurosurgery. To date, only 25 specialists in Germany are the owners of such a certificate. This certificate testifies to a particularly high qualification in spinal surgery and allows the doctor to perform operations of the highest complexity. Since 2003, Dr. Samer Ismail has totally performed more than 12,000 operations.
The department is mainly focused on minimally invasive treatment. The minimally invasive procedures do not leave scars (or only small ones) and are usually performed on an outpatient basis. Thus, the patient has the opportunity to very quickly return to his everyday life.
In the field of intervertebral disc replacement surgery, the department has exceptional competence in the use of such methods as stabilization of the lumbar or cervical spine (PLIF, TLIF, ALIF and XLIF techniques), intervertebral disc replacement surgery and dynamic stabilization procedures. Dr. Ismail uses non-fusion (without spinal fusion) spinal surgery, which allows the patient to preserve mobility even when performing operations to fix the vertebrae.
The department pays key attention to the treatment of spinal disc herniation. In most cases, such hernias can be treated conservatively (for example, shockwave therapy). Once the comprehensive diagnostics has been completed, the department's specialists decide on the need for surgical treatment. The doctors have in their arsenal many surgical treatments, for example, nucleoplasty – minimally invasive method for the treatment of small hernias. In addition, microsurgical treatment can be performed (using a special surgical microscope). Other surgical treatments include endoscopic surgery, microsurgical decompression and interspinous spacer implantation.
The department's range of medical services includes the diagnostics and treatment of the following diseases:
- Spinal disc herniation
- Facet syndrome
- Neck pains
- Back pains
- Post-discectomy syndrome
- Scoliosis
