Spine Surgery is a core focus at Prodorso. We offer individual treatment concepts – ranging from conservative treatment to minimally invasive surgery. Our spinal surgeons will provide you with clear guidance on whether surgery is advisable or necessary.
When surgery is indicated Surgery is primarily indicated for a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra), or significant neurological deficits.
Minimally invasive techniques We perform surgery as gently as possible using microsurgical procedures. In cases of advanced degeneration, spinal stabilization (fusion) may be necessary – wherever possible, we also perform this using minimally invasive techniques.
Revision surgery We provide specialized expertise for complex cases and reoperations.
