About the Doctor / Professional
Prof. Dr. med. Michael Rauschmann is Head of the Spine Orthopedics and Reconstructive Orthopedics Department at the Sana-Klinikum, offering his patients highly qualified expertise and extensive medical experience. His treatment spectrum covers the entire spine, including the pelvic region: from purely conservative (non-surgical) multimodal pain therapy to minimally invasive infiltration and catheter techniques of the entire spectrum of minimally invasive (gentle) and open surgical procedures. The further development of medical treatment is an important concern for the chief physician. In the DWG, Prof. Rauschmann is therefore committed to the certification of centers in order to achieve binding quality standards. This also applies to the establishment of second opinion centers.
In addition to his medical work, Prof. Michael Rauschmann is also involved in scientific research, e.g. the development of the national spine register. It goes back to an initiative of the German Spine Society. The project combines several aspects such as quality assurance for the clinics internally, nationwide comparison possibilities (benchmark) between the hospitals, the collection of up-to-date data on health care research and the further development of spine surgery on the basis of always up-to-date knowledge. He is also involved in numerous scientific projects and regularly publishes in scientific journals.
