German Consultant Neurosurgeon
Pioneer of Spine Navigation with Intraoperative CT
Prof.h.c. Dr. Dr.h.c. Nils D. Haberland is German spine and brain surgeon with over 35 years of experience in the management of all spinal and brain pathologies. He is an expert in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) and the pioneer of spine navigation with intraoperative computed tomography (CT). This technique is state of the art in image guided spine surgery and was first published worldwide in 2000 in the United States by himself. He was also one of the first in Germany who performed brain robotic surgeries. He developed the Spongioplasty procedure for percutaneous vertebral body stabilization in osteoporotic /pathological fractures.
He is the former Chief of Neurosurgical Department, (BGU-Hospital) Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Apart from his clinical work, Dr. Nils is active faculty member and international lecturer in many international spine conferences and educational events of spine and neurosurgery.
