Center for Robotic Spinal Surgery
Precision - Safety - Innovation - Humanity
Welcome to the Center for Robotic Spine Surgery at GPR-Klinikum Rüsselsheim.
Our center combines state-of-the-art medical technology, many years of surgical experience, and the highest level of medical expertise in the treatment of conditions affecting the entire spine and spinal cord. Through a combination of robot-assisted precision, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and cutting-edge interdisciplinary medicine, we offer our patients one of the most advanced forms of spinal surgery in Germany.
Safety, precision, and quality of life are at the heart of everything we do—tailored individually to each patient.

Robotic Spinal Surgery
State-of-the-art spinal surgery
The spine forms the central foundation of our musculoskeletal system. Diseases or injuries can lead to significant pain, neurological deficits, and a marked reduction in quality of life.
At our specialized center, we treat the full spectrum of congenital and acquired conditions affecting the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, as well as the pelvis and spinal cord—using conservative, minimally invasive, and surgical approaches.
Not every back condition requires surgery. Together with our patients, we develop individualized treatment plans in accordance with clinical guidelines—ranging from conservative therapy to highly complex reconstructive procedures.
Robotic Precision—The Future of Spinal Surgery
A particular focus of our center is on robot-assisted spinal surgery.
Through the use of state-of-the-art navigation technologies, intraoperative 3D imaging, and robotic assistance systems, complex procedures can be planned and performed with the highest precision. This innovative technology enables previously unmatched accuracy in implant placement while simultaneously increasing safety during surgery.
Advantages of Robotic Assistance
- Highest precision in implant placement
- Maximum safety during surgery
- Minimally invasive and tissue-sparing procedures
- Lower radiation exposure
- Less postoperative pain
- Shorter surgery times
- Faster mobilization and rehabilitation
- Optimized clinical outcomes
With state-of-the-art robotic spine surgery, we offer our patients treatment at the highest international level—precise, safe, and tailored to each individual.
We always rely on minimally invasive and microsurgical techniques. Small incisions spare muscles and tissues, reduce postoperative discomfort, and often allow for a faster return to daily life.
Interdisciplinary Care at the Highest Level
The treatment of complex spinal conditions requires close collaboration among various medical specialties. Building on the Fast-Track concept established in orthopedics and trauma surgery, we have developed our own Fast-Track Plus system for spinal surgery. This standardizes our treatment procedures during the inpatient stay and, through close collaboration with private practitioners, primary care physicians, specialists, rehabilitation clinics, specialized geriatric clinics, and spinal cord injury centers, ensures that our patients receive coordinated pre- and postoperative care of the highest standard.
Medicine with Compassion
In addition to technological innovation, we always put people first.
We take the time to provide a thorough consultation and personally support our patients—from the initial diagnosis through to full rehabilitation. As second-opinion consultants for the German Spine Society (DWG), we provide independent, individualized advice in accordance with national and international guidelines.
Our goal is not only a successful surgery, but above all the long-term restoration of mobility, stability, and quality of life.
