Stanislaw Kwiek

Dr. Stanislaw Kwiek is a neurosurgeon specializing in minimally invasive spine surgery at KCM Clinic. He holds a postdoctoral degree for his research on multimodal monitoring during complex nerve surgeries. The specialist treats nervous system diseases and spinal conditions such as discopathy and stenosis.

Spine Surgery & Treatment Focus

Dr. Kwiek relieves pain through endoscopic and laser techniques. He uses the SED-YESS lumbar endoscope for precise herniated disc removal. These methods often result in faster recovery times than traditional open surgery. His treatment approach includes:

• Endoscopic cervical spine surgery for disc herniation
• Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) — a procedure that uses a laser to shrink a herniated disc and relieve nerve pressure
• Cervical nucleotomy-discectomy using coblation technology — a technique using cold radiofrequency energy to remove disc tissue
• Dynamic stabilization with the Medtronic DIAM flexible implant
• DISCOgel spine implants and nucleoplasty
• Vertebroplasty for thoracolumbar vertebral body fractures
• Diagnostic spinal blockades for pain mapping

Academic & Research Achievements

Dr. Kwiek is a researcher in clinical neurophysiology. In 2013, the Silesian Medical University published his paper on predictive factors for vestibular nerve surgery. His work analyzed long-term outcomes for patients operated on with retro-axial access. He utilizes this academic background to apply intraoperative monitoring during surgery.
