About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Giessen UKGM offers the full range of surgical interventions for the treatment of diseases of the nervous system. The department annually performs about 2,000 operations, which testifies to the rich clinical experience and skills of neurosurgeons. The specialists of the department practice modern medicine, which takes care of the individual needs of patients and meets international recommendations based on evidence-based medicine. The department specializes in the treatment of brain, pituitary tumors, as well as spinal and vascular neurosurgery. Another priority focus is the surgical treatment of neurosurgical diseases in children. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Eberhard Uhl.
The department’s specialists mostly provide medical care to patients with meningioma, glioblastoma and metastases of lung or breast cancers. In most cases, a neurosurgical procedure is performed to relieve symptoms, such as headache, epileptic seizures or paresis. The expediency of the operation is determined individually for each patient. To provide the surgical treatment of brain tumors, the department uses fluorescence labeling (5-Ala) in combination with neuronavigation. The department is one of the European centers for training specialists in the use of fluorescence control in resection. There is also the opportunity to participate in national and international clinical trials of new drugs and treatment methods.
Another equally important field of clinical practice is the treatment of spinal pathologies. The department’s neurosurgeons annually perform more than 600 spinal interventions using all modern surgical techniques, which range from endoscopic interventions to complex reconstructive operations. At the same time much attention is paid to an individual approach to each clinical case. Whenever possible, operations are performed using sparing minimally invasive techniques and with the best possible preservation of functionality. The surgeons of this area have extensive experience in the treatment of all spinal diseases and injuries, including especially complex clinical cases. Their work is certified by the German Spine Society (DWG), the German Society of Neurosurgery (DGNC). In addition, the department is registered as the Center for the Second Opinion of the German Spine Society (DWG).
Pediatric neurosurgeons specialize in operations to treat diseases and injuries of the brain/spinal cord and peripheral nerves in children, pathologies of the skull and spina bifida, premature closure of the sutures of the skull (craniosynostosis), all forms of hydrocephalus, vascular malformations of the brain or spinal cord, as well as special interventions for drug-resistant epilepsy (vagus nerve stimulation).
The surgical techniques in the field of pediatric neurosurgery cover microsurgical interventions using navigation (neuronavigation, stereotaxia with or without a frame), intraoperative imaging (cutting-edge ultrasound techniques) and electrophysiological monitoring (neuromonitoring). Particular focus is placed on minimally invasive endoscopic surgical techniques using special pediatric endoscopic systems.
The department’s spectrum of surgical services includes:
- Surgical treatment of brain tumors
- Meningiomas
- Gliomas
- Lung and breast cancer metastases

- Functional dynamic stabilization in case of lumbar spine instability of a degenerative nature
- Stabilization and fusion operations for all parts of the spine through anterior, posterior or lateral access (whenever possible, minimally invasive techniques are used)
- Prosthetics of the intervertebral discs of the cervical spine in degenerative diseases

Curriculum vitae
Prof. Dr. med. Eberhard Uhl studied medicine at the Universities of Bochum, Heidelberg/Mannheim and Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, USA (1984 - 1990). Then he worked as a Research Fellow at the Institute of Experimental Surgery of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, after which in late 1992 he moved to the Department of Neurosurgery, where he underwent training for board certification. In 2000, he defended his thesis on Neurosurgery. From 2001 to 2003 he worked as a Senior Physician in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Aachen, whereas from 2003 to 2007 he worked as a Senior Physician in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (in 2005, took the position of a Leading Senior Physician). In 2007, he headed the Department of Neurosurgery at the Clinic Klagenfurt am Wörthersee in Austria. The doctor now leads the Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Giessen, as well as holds the position of W3 Professor for Neurosurgery at Justus Liebig University of Giessen.
The clinical interests of Prof. Uhl covers neurovascular surgery and tumor surgery, in particular, skull base and pituitary tumors. Such interests led to long-term cooperation with the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich on an experimental basis and in the field of clinical research. The recent studies have focused on pituitary function in patients with traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid hemorrhage. In addition, Prof. Uhl studied the development of cerebral edema, as well as disorders of the cerebral microcirculation in various forms of stroke (both from a scientific and experimental point of view). His most recent research focuses on the intraoperative use of computed tomography and neuronavigation in the surgical treatment of pathologies of the spine and brain tumors.
