Less than a month ago, the Cantonal Hospital of Aarau (KSA) and Javier Fandino (51), chief physician of the Neurosurgery Clinic, separated. It is still not entirely clear why exactly it broke.
On Wednesday, the KSA announced that Hans-Jakob Steiger will become a Senior Consultant at the Neurosurgery Clinic on June 1. As a senior consultant, he will not be the successor to Javier Fandino, but will support the existing team with operations and advice. The solution is limited for the next two to three years. This allows “careful planning and the search for a professional and personally suitable successor to the vacant chief medical position,” writes the KSA. The neurosurgery clinic remains under the leadership of Acting Chief Serge Marbacher. This ensures the high level of neurosurgical care and the mandate of performance in the field of highly specialized medicine, writes the KSA.
Hans-Jakob Steiger was the director of the Neurosurgery Clinic in Düsseldorf for the past 18 years until his retirement. Before that he worked at the University of Munich and at the Clinic of the University of Neurosurgery in Bern. He began his neurosurgical career at KSA with a two-year assistant period. In public, Hans-Jakob Steiger was associated with a failed somersault on the show “Wetten, dass ..?” in 2010. He treated the seriously injured Samuel Koch.
