        About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at University Hospital Duesseldorf

        The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Duesseldorf offers the full range of services in the field of diagnostics and surgical treatment of diseases of the nervous system in patients of all age groups. The department was founded in 1947 and during this time it has won the reputation of one of the largest and leading neurosurgical medical institutions in Germany. It performs about 3,000 surgical interventions every year. Also, the department treats and examines more than 15,000 inpatients and outpatients annually. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Hans-Jakob Steiger.

        The department is proud of its outstanding specialists, who not only regularly demonstrate high rates of treatment success, but also had a significant impact on the development of modern neurosurgery. For example, the department's doctors took part in the development of topical techniques in the field of brain tumor surgery (for example, intraoperative fluorescence diagnostics), surgery of cerebral and spinal vessels, treatment of Parkinson's disease and other motor disorders, pediatric neurosurgery and peripheral nerve surgery. Another cornerstone contributing to the high authority of the department is high-tech medical equipment, computerized surgical systems, which ensure the best possible accuracy and minimal damage risks to healthy tissue during the surgical treatment.
