The Centre for Base of Skull and Spinal Surgery at the Vivantes Hospital in Friedrichshain, Berlin, which is headed up by Professor Dag Moskopp, offers a broad range of neurosurgical diagnostics and therapies. Neurosurgery is a relatively new discipline that involves close collaboration with other fields of medicine as many physical disorders are also manifested in the central nervous system.

As a specialist medical field, neurosurgery has benefited more than most from advances in microsurgical and minimally invasive techniques, state-of-the-art imaging and computer and navigation technologies. Professor Steiner, Senior Consultant at the Neurosurgery Department at Nuremberg Hospital South, is able to utilise the latest medical equipment for neurosurgery.

The Department of Neurosurgery at Duisburg Hospital, part of the Wedau Hospitals group, has many years of proven experience in treating neurosurgical illnesses, including the severest of cases. This wealth of expertise was established by the department's first Senior Consultant, Professor Bettag, and his successor, Professor Werner Hassler. Professor Martin Scholz has been Senior Consultant since October. A respected specialist in microsurgery and endoscopy, he is building on the tradition laid down by his predecessors.

The St. Mauritius Therapy Clinic at the Düsseldorf Catholic Hospital Group (VKKD) is the most modern neurological rehabilitation clinic in western Germany. Patients benefit from an experienced neurological rehabilitation team and a dedicated, state-of-the art diagnostics department with an MRI scanner and a robot-assisted treatment unit.

The Department of Neurosurgery at the Charité University Medical Centre in Berlin offers internationally renowned expertise in neuro-oncology, vascular neurosurgery and spinal neurosurgery.
