Dr. Andreas Filis is the Head of Neurosurgery at the German Medical Institute in Limassol. He holds three clinical fellowships from U.S. institutions in neuro-oncology, spine surgery, and skull base surgery. The doctor is board-certified in neurosurgery in Germany.

Specialization & Clinical Focus

Dr. Filis treats complex conditions of the brain and spine. He treats acoustic neuromas — noncancerous tumors on the main nerve leading from the inner ear to the brain. He also treats pituitary adenomas and various brain cysts. The specialist performs procedures including trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy to remove pituitary tumors and laminectomy to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.

For spinal conditions, he provides surgical treatment for radiculopathy and herniated discs. He uses minimally invasive techniques to improve recovery times. He also treats cases of spinal stenosis and spinal cord abscesses. His approach includes microscopic and endoscopic methods for reaching skull base tumors, which helps protect critical neural structures during surgery.
