Prof. Prof. h. c. Dr. Dr. med. Günther C. Feigl
is an internationally recognized expert in minimally invasive neurosurgery.
Minimally invasive procedures, also known as keyhole techniques, describe surgeries that are performed using 3D video technology through small, barely visible incisions with the aid of a robot-assisted camera. This yields a number of advantages for patients. In particular, they benefit from significantly less pain, less blood loss, faster food recovery and a shorter hospital stay. Thanks to smallest possible surgical accesses, patients are left with barely visible scars, which is another advantage of minimally invasive procedures.
Prof. Feigl’s main areas of expertise are focused on skull base surgery and neuro-oncology. In particular, brain tumor surgeries, minimally invasive endoscopy-assisted microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain) and hemifacial spasms (involuntary facial twitching) as well as surgical procedures of acoustic neuromas (tumors of the vestibular nerves) are among his specialties.
Prof. Feigl started his medical training in the United States (USA). After his studies in Dallas, Houston and Graz as well as several years of research in the field of brain tumors at the Neuroscience Institute of Baylor University / Methodist Hospital in Houston (USA), the largest medical center in the world (Texas Medical Center in Houston), Prof. Feigl followed up with the radiosurgical treatment of pituitary tumors (tumors of the pituitary gland) by means of gamma knife method as part of his dissertation.
He completed his residency training with world-renowned neurosurgeons in Hannover (Prof. Samii) and Tübingen (Prof. Tatagiba). He habilitated at Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen in 2011 and specialized in minimally invasive neurosurgery and neuroendoscopy as head of skull base surgery at Katharinenhospital in Stuttgart.
Today, Prof. Feigl is chairman of the department of neurosurgery at Klinikum Bamberg. Besides his position as chairman, Prof. Feigl is Medical Director of the Skull Base and Brain Tumor Center which he founded as part of the clinic and social foundation Bamberg (Sozialstiftung Bamberg) in 2013. He is also the Medical Director of Neuronetz Bamberg practice center. Due to his internationally recognized expertise in minimally invasive skull base surgery, Prof. Feigl was appointed Professor of Neurosurgery by the Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI) in December 2019.
With his expertise as neurosurgeon as well as many years of surgical and radiosurgical experience (radiation with Gamma-Knife and Cyberknife), Prof. Feigl has treated numerous patients from Germany and abroad, including non-EU countries. Accordingly, he and his team are also available for patients with high level knowledge of different languages; in particular English, Russian, Croatian and Polish.
In collaboration with patients, individual therapy concepts with the best possible chances of success are developed at the highest technical and scientific level. The smallest possible intervention and the greatest possible safety for the patient are fundamental requirements here at Skull Base and Brain Tumor Center.
Our vision: to make your treatment as pleasant and successful as possible.
