Minimally invasive spine surgeons in Germany, Italy and Spain

I need to locate five spine surgeons, either Neurosurgeons or
Orthopedic surgeons in each of Germany, Italy and Spain.  The types of
procedures that these physicians perform is kyphoplasty,
vertebroplasty, or minimally invasive spinal fixation.  I need the
first and last name of each physician, their institution and contact
information.  I will be willing to pay $60 for all 15 names, or $20
for the five names in each country.  It is important not just to
select any spine surgeon, but one who has expertise in minimally
invasive techniques.  The is for my Dad who is a music profession
living in Europe and needs a procedure.  We have family in each of
these countries who can support him.

Hello Crystal4290-ga:

It was a pleasure to answer your question. After an extensive
research, I am providing you the names and addresses of the surgeons
you are looking for. Please be advised that I will list the
neurosurgeons first and than list orthopedic surgeons who specialize
in Spinal procedures. I have compiled a list of neurosurgeons that are
very well known all over the world so that you can contact them and
seek their advice. I am also listing a number of orthopedic surgeons
and their affiliations and specialty but they might or might not be
specialist with minimal invasive techniques. The only reason I am
providing you their names is that all of them are very well known in
their country and have extensive experience in the field of spinal
surgery. You can call them and consult with them. Who knows they might
be the type of surgeons you are looking for.

Again, the only reason to provide you with two lists is that to make
it easy for you to consult various doctors and seek guidance in the
right direction.

Following is the list:

I hope this answer will help you. Please clarify, if you are not
satisfied. Thanks for using Google Answers and I wish you very good
luck in the future.

Sincerely,
Leader-ga

This is a good answer.  Although it is not as specific as I would
like, meaning I do not know if each physician performs the minimally
invasive spinal procedures and thus I must still contact each one, I
know that you performed extensive research just to get this far.  I am
pleased with the answer and will be willing to pay for the
information.  Thank you.
