Main areas of expertise of Spine surgery:

1. Spinal Trauma (e.g. Fractures of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine)
2. Spinal deformities (e.g. kyphosis, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis)
3. Metabolic/inflammatory diseases of the spine (e.g osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis)
4. Degenerative conditions of the spine (e.g. spondylosis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, myelopathy, radiculopathy)
5. Spinal Tumors and
6. Spinal infections

Spine Surgery focuses on achieving the best possible treatment to restore the patients’ function and quality of life. Established operative interventions, newly developed minimally invasive techniques, as well as non-operative means are utilized for this goal.
