At Zollikerberg Hospital, the highest precision applies to one of the most central and at the same time most demanding areas of the body - the spine. Spinal surgery here means not only modern, minimally invasive technology, but above all sound expertise, experience and careful, holistic care. This is what Dr Filippo Mandelli, Head of the Spinal Surgery Clinic, and his team stand for. They treat conditions such as herniated discs, spinal canal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal deformities and degenerative changes competently and sensitively and accompany patients on their way to greater stability and quality of life. In this interview, you can find out what is particularly important in these complex interventions - and what modern spinal medicine can achieve today.

Our aim is to provide guidance and show how those affected can lead as self-determined and good a life as possible despite visual impairments.
