Dr. med. Michael Schubert is - with more than 4000 endoscopic surgeries - one of the leading experts in spinal surgery. His main focus is always to preserve natural mobility and stability of the segment operated on (function preservation).

As a renowned specialist, he is the contact point for his colleagues and spine specialists from all over the world. Spine specialists from many countries participate at his continuing education courses in order to learn the new endoscopic surgery technique.
Lecturing at both the national and the international level, Dr. Schubert is interested not only in the practical realization, but also in scientific research and dissemination of the treatment of spinal diseases by minimally invasive techniques, concerning the entire spine.

 

Dr. Armin Helmbrecht has specialized in microscopic minimally invasive open surgical methods using a trocar (sleeve) in the recent years. In this way he has modified, amongst other things, the posterior approach to the cervical spine (for treatment of herniated disc and stenosis) into an access as wide as a finger. This offers the advantage of significantly shorter recovery times as well as the prevention of post surgical neck pain.

With the same technique he is able to treat spinal stenoses of the lumbar and thoracic spine.

As instructor and guest surgeon he is regularly on lecture tours to teach his new surgery techniques and stay in close contact to his international colleagues.
