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

        The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Jena offers the full range of modern services in this medical field. The high level of technical equipment in the department allows for the performance of all highly specialized surgical interventions to treat pathologies of the central and peripheral nervous system. The clinical practice mainly focuses on the diagnostics and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries of the brain, spine, spinal cord, intervertebral discs, nerve plexuses, functional neurosurgery and the treatment of neurosurgical pathologies in children. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Rolf Kalff.

        All operations are performed after a thorough examination of the patient and an accurate diagnostics. As a university medical facility and part of the Neuro-Oncology Center Jena, the Spine Center Thuringia, the department provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary treatment of various diseases based on the use of the very latest medical advances.
