Special Spine Surgery


Dr. med. Oliver Meier

Chief of

Special Spine Surgery

The spine specialists at the Special Spine Surgery department specialize in highly complex spinal surgery. They operate on high-grade instabilities and deformities at the German Spine and Scoliosis Center at Sportklinik Hellersen.

A particular specialty of our doctors is the treatment of scoliosis - a lateral deviation of the spine with rotation of the vertebrae. The Special Spinal Surgery department alone treats 100 scolioses per year. Scoliosis patients regularly consult our specialists for a second opinion. Together with the patient, the doctors at the German Spine and Scoliosis Center analyze which treatment is best for them individually.

In addition, patients with spinal canal stenosis and vertebral body fractures seek the advice of Germany's most respected spinal surgeons.

Focal points of treatment

  • Growing systems for adolescent scoliosis
  • Adult scoliosis
  • Neuromuscular cogenital scoliosis
  • Decompression and stabilization in degenerative diseases with narrowing of the spinal canal
  • Decompression and, if necessary, corpectomy, ventral plate osteosynthesis for instabilities in the cervical spine, stenoses or fractures
  • Vertebral body replacement and spondylodesis
  • Straightening, osteotomies and corrective spondylodesis
