At University Hospital, Spinal Decompression and Fixation is performed using advanced spinal surgical techniques and individualized treatment planning. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital in Basel, Switzerland has 773 beds and provides comprehensive neurosurgical and orthopedic spine care.

Spinal Decompression and Fixation may be recommended for conditions involving significant nerve or spinal cord compression together with spinal instability or deformity. Decompression procedures such as laminectomy or discectomy can create more space for compressed neural structures, while fixation stabilizes the treated spinal segment. Depending on the case, bone grafting and spinal fusion may also be performed to promote lasting stability. Preoperative imaging and neurological assessment help determine the appropriate surgical approach.
