New developments in spinal surgery
Spinal surgery has made enormous progress in recent years. Innovative procedures such as intraoperative 3D imaging and minimally invasive techniques enable more precise and safer procedures.
Dr. Rainer Schlichtherle, specialist in orthopedics and traumatology of the musculoskeletal system FMH, and Dr. Roman Schwizer, specialist in neurosurgery FMH, both from Orthopädie Rosenberg, use new surgical methods, not only out of technical conviction, but above all because of the very positive experiences and feedback from their patients. Less pain, shorter hospital stays, and a quicker return to everyday life are some of the advantages offered by modern surgical technologies.
Greater safety
Safety in spinal surgery has increased significantly thanks to advanced navigation and imaging. These techniques minimize the risk of nerve damage and enable procedures to be performed with greater precision. Minimally invasive procedures are gentle on tissue and promote faster recovery.
Interventional pain therapies also offer targeted treatment options before surgery is considered. Such methods can often be helpful for pain, while surgery becomes necessary for severe structural problems.
Exploiting synergies
The interdisciplinary collaboration between orthopedics and neurosurgery, as practiced by Dr. Schwizer and Dr. Schlichtherle at the Berit Klinik, enables comprehensive patient care. This synergy improves the planning and execution of complex procedures and ensures a high level of trust between patients and doctors.
Robotics and artificial intelligence
In the future, technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence will further increase the precision and individuality of spinal surgery procedures. However, the surgeon's experience remains central: a deep understanding of anatomy, a trained feel for tissue, and the ability to use modern technologies sensibly and responsibly. The Berit Klinik remains at the forefront of these developments and is committed to innovative and patient-friendly solutions.
