About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery, Spinal Surgery at the University Hospital Goettingen offers the full range of surgical treatment for patients of all ages with diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. The department is the largest Neurosurgery Center in Germany with certification by the German Cancer Society (DKG) in the treatment of neuro-oncological diseases and certification by the German Society for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery (DGOU) and the German Society of Neurosurgery (DGNC) in the treatment of spinal pathologies. The department's medical team specializes in the surgical treatment of neurovascular diseases, movement disorders, with a special emphasis on the treatment of Parkinson's disease using deep brain stimulation, benign and malignant tumors of the brain and spinal cord, and neurosurgical diseases in children. A separate focus of the daily clinical practice of specialists is spinal surgery. The neurosurgeons of the department brilliantly perform microsurgical interventions for herniated intervertebral discs, spinal stenosis, and spinal instability. Surgical treatment focuses not only on achieving a good therapeutic result, but also on preserving the functions of the brain and spinal cord. The department's specialists use minimally invasive, endoscopic, and microsurgical techniques. The department has 3 high-tech operating rooms where more than 3,000 surgical procedures are performed annually. The department treats over 7,000 patients every year, about 2,000 of them in inpatient settings. The department has 62 inpatient beds. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Veit Rohde.
The treatment of brain tumors is one of the primary clinical tasks of the department's team of neurosurgeons. The specialists treat patients with both benign and malignant brain tumors. For the treatment of benign tumors, surgical resection is sufficient, but when a brain malignancy is diagnosed, surgery is only the first step in the therapeutic process, usually followed by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. The goal of the department's neurosurgeons when treating a brain tumor is its complete removal because, in this case, the patient has a high chance of being cured or achieving a long-term and stable remission. When performing brain tumor surgery, the neurosurgeons in the department use modern surgical microscopes, 5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescent navigation, computer-assisted navigation, and intraoperative monitoring. All of these innovative technical capabilities allow for the most effective resection of a brain tumor with a high degree of safety. Each surgical procedure is carefully planned based on CT and MRI scans. The neurosurgeons in the department also specialize in surgery for brain tumors in children. This pathology is the second most common among young patients after leukemia. In addition, the specialists regularly perform operations to remove brain metastases due to skin cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and other oncological diseases. A standard treatment regimen for brain metastases includes a microsurgical resection followed by irradiation of the pathological focus. Chemotherapy may also be required, if clinically indicated.
The department successfully performs surgical treatment of neurovascular diseases such as brain aneurysms, angiomas, cavernomas, dural arteriovenous fistulas, and strokes. A brain aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of a cerebral artery that may potentially cause life-threatening bleeding in the brain. In many cases, an aneurysm is characterized by an asymptomatic course, so it is diagnosed accidentally during an examination for other diseases. As for the treatment of this pathology, the neurosurgeons in the department offer coiling (a minimally traumatic endovascular intervention under imaging guidance) and classical operations. For the treatment of arteriovenous malformations of the brain and spinal cord, such as cavernomas, angiomas, and dural arteriovenous fistulas, the department performs mainly endovascular interventions, with open surgery being required only in complex clinical cases.
The department's specialists have excellent professional skills in the treatment of spinal pathologies. Neurosurgeons focus on patients with herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spinal instability. These pathologies are accompanied by severe pain, which can often be relieved with drug therapy and physiotherapeutic treatment. In some cases, conservative treatment may not give the desired result, so doctors resort to surgical techniques. Surgery for spinal diseases is performed in the department through a minimally invasive approach under the guidance of a surgical microscope. It should be noted that spinal stabilization surgery is performed using an innovative robot-assisted system, which is available only in four university hospitals in Germany, including the University Hospital Goettingen. Thanks to the robotic device, specialists can percutaneously implant screw systems to stabilize the spine through skin incisions no longer than 2 cm. In addition, the use of the robot ensures maximum accuracy in positioning the screw system in the spine, which contributes to the best outcome of the surgical intervention and eliminates the risk of developing neurological deficits.
