Vitos Orthopedic Clinic Kassel - Departments

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Spinal Surgery specializes in the treatment of the full range of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine diseases. Doctors pay special attention to providing medical care to patients with herniated discs, spinal instability, vertebral fractures, spinal stenosis, spinal deformities, and spinal tumors. The department has at its disposal all modern types of conservative and surgical treatment for spinal pathologies. Spinal surgery is a last-line treatment and is indicated only when conservative methods have failed. Most surgical interventions for spinal diseases and deformities are performed in the department using minimally invasive techniques. Since 2021, the advanced robotic surgical system Globus Excelsius GPS has also been available in the department's operating room. The American-made robotic device is specially designed for spinal surgery. This system provides high efficiency and safety for surgical manipulations. The doctors at the medical facility also carry out interventional treatment for chronic back pain under imaging guidance when an anesthetic is injected into the pathological focus under X-ray or CT guidance. The department's specialists thus have at their disposal all the necessary resources for effective treatment.

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery, Foot Surgery, Hand Surgery and Rheumatology offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in its areas of specialization. The key areas of work of the department's doctors include large joint arthroplasty, arthroscopic interventions on the knee, hip, and shoulder joints, conservative and surgical treatment of foot and hand diseases and deformities, rheumatic joint lesions, orthopedic diseases in children, and musculoskeletal injuries. The key to successful clinical practice is the professionalism and unique experience of the department's medical team, combined with the advanced infrastructure and state-of-the-art equipment. The department has 5 operating rooms equipped with the latest technology. Most surgical interventions are performed using minimally invasive techniques, due to which, in the shortest possible time, the patient is verticalized, their mobility is restored, and a pronounced pain syndrome is excluded. The department annually performs more than 4,500 surgical interventions, including especially complex ones, so the specialists at the medical facility are rightfully proud of their impressive clinical experience in the surgical treatment of orthopedic diseases. Over the years, the department has gained an excellent reputation not only in Germany but also far beyond its borders.
