Pioneering A Whole New Kind of Spine Surgery

Minimally Invasive.
Maximally Effective.

Today’s spine surgery uses small incisions, ensures faster recovery, and delivers consistent results—reflecting our commitment to restoring your quality of life with simplicity and precision.
Neck Procedures
The cervical spine enables head movement and carries nerves that control arm and leg function. Common issues include herniated discs, degeneration, and stenosis, causing pain, stiffness, numbness, or weakness. Most cases are treated without surgery, but when needed, advanced methods like artificial disc replacement and microsurgery are used.
Middle Back Procedures
This part of the spine supports torso movement and contains nerves affecting balance and leg function. Common problems include degeneration, stenosis, and tumors, leading to back pain, balance issues, or bladder/bowel problems. Minimally invasive techniques can often resolve these conditions.
Lower Back Procedures
The lumbar spine carries body weight, enables movement, and houses nerves for leg and bladder function. Conditions like herniation, degeneration, stenosis, tumors, or fractures may cause pain, stiffness, or mobility issues. Today, most are treated successfully—often without hospitalization—using advanced techniques like artificial disc replacement and microdecompression.
Global Alignment
The spine functions best when its regions—cervical, thoracic, and lumbar—are in proper alignment. Structural issues in the bones or discs can lead to deformities like scoliosis (curved spine) or kyphosis (hunchback). Modern techniques such as minimally invasive correction, computer-assisted, and image-guided surgery have greatly improved treatment success.

Brief Profile

Dr. Waldemar Merck is a renowned ENT surgeon and pioneer in ear correction surgery, globally recognized for developing the “Dr. Merck Stitch Method”—the world’s first closed, truly minimally invasive technique for correcting protruding ears. After qualifying as a professor in 1978, he led as Head of the ENT Department at Vincentius Hospital and Konstanz Clinic in Germany for over 25 years.

In 1996, Dr. Merck revolutionized otoplasty with his stitch method, which corrects all forms of protruding ears—without cutting skin, cartilage, or connective tissue. This technique, performed under local anesthesia, leaves no visible scars and allows patients to resume daily activities immediately, making it especially suitable for both children and adults. With over 10,000 successful ear correction procedures performed globally, Dr. Merck stands as a leader in the field.

His contributions extend beyond clinical practice, having delivered lectures at prestigious medical conferences worldwide, including the Aesthetic & Anti-aging Medicine World Congress (AMWC) in Monaco. Dr. Merck remains committed to advancing patient care through minimally invasive, low-risk surgical innovations.
