We use the standard surgical methods accepted by the surgical community in general and that studies have shown to be the most effective to date. We are also continually doing research in order to improve these methods and techniques and to develop new and better equipment and instruments.
We cover the entire spectrum of spinal disorders, such as:
- degeneration - resulting from wear, the most common is the surgery of disc
protrusion or discectomy
- trauma - due to an accident
- tumours - benign as well as malignant growths
- inflammation - its surgical treatment, and
- spine deformities - due to anomalies of growth, degeneration or other diseases.
Minimal invasive techniques are also used in our centre. These techniques allow us to minimize damage and the risks of different procedures while helping patients. These techniques are used both in diagnostics and therapy. Non-invasive diagnostic methods include ultrasound, CT scan (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), isotope diagnostic. Myelography and discography are two minimal invasive diagnostic methods utilised in our centre. Myelography is used to diagnose disorders of the spinal canal and cord, such as nerve compression causing pain and weakness. Discography is used to determine the structural integrity of an intervertebral disc (or discs). It helps to localize the source of the back pain, and the degree of degeneration.
Percutaneous surgical procedures are performed using a very small incision with the help of some surgical tools e.g. endoscope. These surgeries include percutaneous disc decompression, percutaneous laser disc decompression, IDET (Intradiscal electrothermal Annuloplasty), vertebral augmentation, vertebroplasty, balloon kyphoplasty.
