About us

about us
We are a private neurosurgical and spondylosurgical medical practice founded by Dr. Vasilios Koufoglou. We treat injuries and degenerative diseases of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. In doing so, we mainly use the so-called endoscopic procedure, which is minimally invasive and significantly shortens hospitalization and overall recovery.

We practice minimally invasive endoscopic spinal surgery

During an endoscopic procedure, only an 8mm short incision is made at the skin level. The muscle is not incised but dilated with dilators so that an approximately 6 mm wide camera can be inserted towards the spine. The camera contains a working channel that can be used to remove a herniated disk or to insert a cutter to widen the spinal cord. The wounds hardly bleed after the procedure and therefore drainage is usually not needed.
