More about the doctor

Chief of neurosurgery at Solingen’s municipal hospital: brain and spinal tumor surgery and spinal microsurgery.

PD Dr. med. Ralf Buhl is a neurosurgeon and chief physician (Chefarzt) of the neurosurgery clinic at Klinikum Solingen in Germany. The title Privatdozent (PD) is awarded in Germany after habilitation, the postdoctoral qualification that permits university teaching.

Focus. Dr. Buhl’s main areas are surgery for brain tumors, spinal and spinal cord tumors, and microsurgical treatment of herniated discs. Operations are performed under the operating microscope and, where needed, with computer navigation.

Department. The neurosurgery clinic he leads treats around 880 inpatients a year, according to the German hospital register, and works with the hospital’s oncology, radiology and intensive care departments.

Consultation. Send your InsideClinics coordinator MRI or CT scans and reports: the surgeon assesses whether an operation is indicated, and the hospital prepares a treatment plan with a preliminary estimate.
