News Tamás Fekete elected to the Advisory Board of the Swiss Scoliosis Association
Our Head of Spinal Surgery, PD Dr Tamás Fekete, has been elected to the Advisory Board of the Swiss Scoliosis Association. He succeeds Prof. Dr. Dezsö Jeszenszky. The former Head of Spinal Surgery at the Schulthess Klinik was a co-founder of the association.
The Schulthess Klinik has been associated with the field of scoliosis since its inception in the year 1883. The founder, Wilhelm Schulthess, studied the condition extensively and developed his own measurement methods. From today’s perspective, this was an early step towards modern spinal medicine.
This knowledge has been further developed over the decades. One such figure is Prof. Dr. med. Dezsö Jeszenszky. He was a co-founder of the Scoliosis Switzerland Association and played a decisive role in shaping the department at the Schulthess Klinik over many years, training generations of specialists.
Tamás Fekete also underwent a significant part of his professional development under his guidance. This long-standing collaboration exemplifies what constitutes good medicine: passing on knowledge, sharing experience and developing further together.
With his election, Tamás Fekete now succeeds Dezsö Jeszenszky on the Advisory Board and will continue to build on this legacy. At the same time, he brings fresh perspectives: his international background and his focus on minimally invasive, muscle-preserving procedures will help to continuously improve treatment for patients.
We are delighted with the election of Tamás Fekete. It demonstrates how progress depends on knowledge being shared and developed further, and underlines the role of the Schulthess Klinik as a leading institution in the treatment of scoliosis.
