About the clinic
Spinal stenosis treatment at Städtisches Klinikum Solingen in Germany includes thorough diagnostics and advanced surgery. Patients can access a range of services, from blood analyses costing around 112 EUR to an MRI for about 944 EUR. Major procedures like spinal fusion may cost around 20,000 to 27,000 EUR. The clinic is an academic partner of the University of Cologne, performing over 700 spine surgeries each year.
The facility offers a full diagnostic path for spinal conditions. Common tests include biochemical and extended blood analysis. Imaging options encompass ultrasound and MRI scans of the lumbar spine or brain. This precise evaluation helps create a personalized treatment plan.
Surgical Treatment for Spinal Stenosis
The clinic's spine team, led by PD Dr. Ralf Buhl, performs over 4000 neurosurgical procedures. He has 27 years of experience treating spinal disorders and complex cases.
Two main surgical options are available:
- Spinal fusion surgery stabilizes the spine using a cage implant. It relieves pressure on nerves causing pain or numbness.
- Intervertebral disc surgery is a minimally invasive option. It removes or repairs damaged discs to relieve nerve compression.
Both surgeries typically require a 4 to 7-day hospital stay. The clinic is certified by the German Cancer Society and TÜV RHEINLAND.
Treatment Packages and Costs
Surgical packages are designed for international patients. The spinal surgery (Fusion with cage) package is typically 20,000–27,000 EUR. It includes:
- Hospital stay for 4-7 days
- Anesthesia and laboratory tests
- Daily doctor visits and post-operative exams
- A final consultation
The package does not cover flights or single-room upgrades. Another option, intervertebral disc surgery, may cost around 18,000–20,000 EUR. It includes a similar hospital stay and post-operative rehabilitation. The clinic's international office assists with visas and appointment coordination. Exploring these expert options can be the first step toward relief from spinal pain.
