Dr. Schneekloth has been working as a neurosurgeon and spinal surgeon in the East Westphalia region since 2006 and has led the Neurosurgery Paderborn MVZ GmbH practice and the clinic for spinal surgery at the Paderborn Brüderkrankenhaus Paderborn to the current level. From 2009 to 2022 he was chief physician at the clinic for spinal surgery at Brüderkrankenhaus Paderborn. His surgical focus is on complex spinal surgery and pain surgery (neuromodulation). Another focus is the conservative treatment of spinal diseases. Almost the entire spectrum of conservative therapy options is offered here in the practice Neurochirurgie Paderborn MVZ GmbH.
Special Clinical Focus
Microsurgical and endoscopic disc operations on the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine
Intervertebral disc occlusion to prevent recurrence
Intervertebral disc prosthesis implantation
Microsurgical and endoscopic decompression (expansion) of spinal canal stenosis (spinal canal narrowing cases)
Minimally invasive straightening and cementing of (osteoporotic) vertebral body fractures (kyphoplasty)
Robot-assisted screw placement in spinal fusion
Stabilization of complex spinal injuries
Surgical therapy of benign and malignant tumours of the spine and nervous structures
Revision surgery
Minimally invasive and open stabilization for vertebral sliding (spondylolisthesis)
Computer-assisted 3D planning for complex spinal corrections
Implantation of pumps for drug therapy close to the spinal cord
Implantation of spinal cord stimulation electrodes and neurostimulators for chronic pain
Multifunctional X-ray diagnostics
Contrast agent examinations: Myelography and post-myelo-computed tomography
Discography and functional diagnostics
Intraoperative monitoring (monitoring of nerve and brain functions during operations)
Video raster stereography for functional spine measurement
Minimally invasive local pain treatments on the spine (FG infiltration, PDT, PRT, ISG infiltration)
Spine specialist, neurosurgeon, pain doctor - with Dr. med. Carsten Schneekloth can show Neurochirurgie Paderborn MVZ GmbH a proven specialist with more than 30 years of professional experience. The name of the institution, which has established itself far beyond the eastern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, puts you on the wrong track at first glance: Even if one of the focal points of the service is complex surgical procedures, the vast majority of all patients treated are helped without surgery.
In the field of outpatient neurosurgery, Dr. Schneekloth and his team develop innovative modules that often make surgical interventions on the spine superfluous - such as minimally invasive pain therapy, which is used, for example, in the case of herniated discs or spinal canal stenosis - or facet joint infiltration, in which worn vertebral joints are identified and treated. This is usually done under X-ray and ultrasound control. Well-tolerated cortisone preparations and local anesthetics are used, as well as herbal anti-inflammatories if desired. Chronic pain patients are also in the right place at Neurochirurgie Paderborn: In addition to the implantation of pain pumps and stimulation electrodes, the practice also regularly adjusts and fills the implants.
Operate only when really necessary
However, an operation can be very helpful if the pain is severe and cannot be treated or if there are symptoms of failure. Strongly advises Dr. Schneekloth before an operation to get a second opinion. He himself has been approved as a second opinion provider by the Westphalia Lippe Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians since 2021.
Dr. Schneekloth is proficient in all common modern spinal surgery interventions, including endoscopic and microsurgical minimally invasive operations and all stabilizing procedures. During an operation you can rely on the expertise and great experience of Dr. Schneekloth.
Whether cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine: With minimally invasive techniques, intraoperative monitoring and - especially in the case of complex interventions - computer-aided 3D planning and robot-assisted navigation, Dr. Schneekloth has the entire repertoire of modern spinal surgery. The spine specialist was appointed to the expert commission for medical liability issues of the Medical Association of Westphalia-Lippe in 2013.
The preparation and aftercare of surgical interventions takes place in the practice MVZ Neurochirurgie Paderborn GmbH. The inpatients are well cared for through a cooperation with Brüderkrankenhaus Paderborn Hospital and Marienhospital Marsberg. There has been a proven and established cooperation here since 2006. Patients can rest assured that all steps, from diagnosis through surgery to aftercare, remain in the hands of their specialist. This is how we accompany them safely, competently and reliably through their illness.
