About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Spinal Surgery at the Schoen Clinic Hamburg Eilbek provides highly effective surgical treatment for the full range of spinal diseases. The department's doctors focus on patients with osteochondrosis, herniated discs, spondylolisthesis, spondylodiscitis, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal stenosis, tumors, injuries, and rheumatic spinal lesions. The department has an interdisciplinary team of experienced spinal surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopedists, trauma surgeons, physiotherapists, and chiropractors. Most spinal surgical interventions are performed using sparing minimally invasive, microsurgical, and endoscopic techniques. After such operations, the patients get back on their feet on the day of surgery, the risk of developing postoperative complications is practically eliminated, blood loss is minimal, and pain is alleviated. Spinal surgeons have modern navigation systems and intraoperative neuromonitoring devices, thanks to which the highest accuracy and safety of the operation are guaranteed. For its excellent medical service, the department was certified by the German Society for Spine Surgery (DGW) and the Spine Society of Europe (EUROSPINE) as a Center of Excellence for Spinal Surgery in Germany and Europe. The department is headed by PD Dr. med. Ralph Kothe.
One of the most common pathologies in the department's clinical practice is a spinal disc herniation. The specialists admit patients with cervical, thoracic, and lumbar disc herniations. The department's spinal surgeons are competent in comprehensive diagnostics when this disease is suspected, conservative treatment using oral medications and infiltration therapy (a nerve block through an image-guided injection of anesthetics into the pathological focus), and surgical treatment. The main manifestation of a herniated disc is severe pain, so therapeutic measures are primarily aimed at alleviating pain and improving the patient's quality of life. Great clinical experience and excellent professional skills of the department's spinal surgeons make it possible to achieve recovery with the help of competently developed conservative treatment regimens in many cases: physiotherapists select a set of physical exercises for the patient, qualified experts conduct manual therapy, and doctors also prescribe effective analgesics. A nerve root block may also be performed (a targeted CT-guided injection of anesthetics) for severe pain. If conservative treatment fails, doctors may consider surgical treatment options. The department's surgeons use microsurgical and endoscopic techniques to ensure rapid recovery of the patient in the postoperative period.
The department also pays attention to the treatment of spinal stenosis. Pathology occurs due to degenerative spinal changes and leads to compression of the spinal cord or spinal nerves. Patients with spinal stenosis suffer from pain, gait disorders, and sensation disorders. Treatment begins with conservative methods, such as physiotherapy and drug blocks with anesthetics to alleviate pain. The second-line treatment is a surgical intervention. The decision to perform surgery is made when conservative therapy does not ensure positive results and the patient suffers from severe symptoms. The department's specialists most often perform spondylosis and decompression interventions. These operations are performed using microsurgical and endoscopic techniques under the guidance of intraoperative neuronavigation and computed tomography. The department's spinal surgeons have many years of experience in the treatment of spinal stenosis, so patients can expect the best outcomes.
The specialists at the medical facility regularly admit both adults and children with spinal curvatures such as scoliosis and kyphosis. Scoliosis is characterized by lateral curvature of the spine, while kyphosis causes frontal plane curvature. The team of the department's doctors uses both conservative and surgical methods to repair spinal curvature. The specialists quite often use only comprehensive conservative treatment, including an individually selected set of physiotherapeutic measures, physical therapy, the intake of painkillers, and wearing special corsets. In complex clinical cases, surgeons perform surgical repair of spinal curvature. They perform spondylodesis or microsurgical decompression with foraminotomy. The optimal type of surgical procedure is selected on an individual basis, taking into account the peculiarities of the clinical case. Physiotherapy is also performed after the surgery.
The department's key clinical focuses include:
- Conservative and surgical treatment of herniated discs
- Conservative and surgical treatment of spinal stenosis
- Conservative and surgical treatment of spinal curvatures in both adults and children: scoliosis and kyphosis
- Conservative and surgical treatment of spondylolisthesis (vertebral dislocation)
- Conservative and surgical treatment of osteochondrosis
- Conservative and surgical treatment of spondylodiscitis (inflammation of vertebrae and intervertebral discs)
- Conservative and surgical treatment of spinal epidural empyema
- Conservative and surgical treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures
- Conservative and surgical treatment of spinal fractures
- Conservative and surgical treatment of other spinal diseases
The department's range of therapeutic options includes:
- Conservative treatment
- Physiotherapy
- Manual therapy
- Drug therapy
- Therapy with special corsets
- Infiltration therapy (targeted image-guided injection of anesthetics directly into the pathological focus)
- Surgical treatment
- Minimally invasive surgery
- Microsurgical interventions
- Endoscopic surgery
- Other treatment methods
