Services

In the 1960s, Samii developed imaging techniques that made operations on the brain much safer. He was the first in Germany in 1967 operating microscopes introduced in neurosurgery, making operations of nerves and vessels in the brain were gewebsschonender possible.

In the 1970s and 1980s he researched syringomyelia and other diseases of the spinal cord .

To this day, he has enabled many previously completely deaf patients to hear again by using a microchip connected to the nerve cells in the brain stem. Samii is currently researching surgical methods to heal paraplegics.

In 1992, in collaboration with Peter-Michael Zink, he developed the zinc Samii screw for the spine.
