Stabilisation and decompression surgery

Concerning injuries of the spine, first care requirements are very high. Once neurological damage has arisen, unfortunately, currently it cannot be fixed by surgery.

Therefore, the main function of stabilisation and decompression surgery is to relieve the spinal cord of any pressure as quickly as possible. Such pressure is caused by injuries such as fractured bones and hemorrhaging. Infections of the spine, rheumatism and tumours can also exert pressure on the spinal cord.

With the surgery we can achieve fast mobilisation and in addition prevent the risk of complications such as thrombosis, embolisms and pneumonia. Depending on the type of injury we have various surgerys at hand. Our aim is a stable resilient spine.
