Strongman and strongactor Dieter Seidenkranz has undergone an Endoscopic Spine surgery after an injury of his spine and longlasting back-pain.

Strongman Seidenkranz with his airborne surgeon Dr. Hoogland Picking up cars and heavy logs for a living can be a bit demanding. A painful injury to his lower spine forced Strongman and actor Dieter Seidenkranz to take a break and- despite his enormous size and authorative muscles - restrain from his favourite hobby for a while. Dr. Hoogland operated the muscle-man endoscopically in September 2004. As the image shows, Dr. Hoogland and Dieter Seidenkranz were both happy with the surgical result at the 3-month post-operative examination in January 2005, where the Strongman resumed his hobby.
