  • Microscopic tumor surgery of the spinal column and the neutral structures of the spinal cord and spinal nerves.

Dr. Armin Helmbrecht is one of the leading spinal surgeons, who apply the highly specialised minimally invasive surgical methods, the primary goal of which is to maintain the function of the mobile segment. In the recent years he has specialised in microscopic minimally invasive open surgical methods using a trocar (sleeve). In this way he has modified, amongst other things, the posterior approach on the cervical spine (for treatment of herniated disc and stenosis) into an access as wide as a finger. Dr. Helmbrecht is a member of such professional associations as the German Association for Spine Surgery (DGW), the German Society of Neurosurgery (DGNC) and a member of a working group at the spine department of the German Society for Neurosurgery.
