OR Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Surgery of the IASO Spine Surgerywith the director of Dr. George BrigadyMD, PhD, is a Center of Excellence in the field of endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery and an international educational center in innovative endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgeons, with surgeons.
The minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery treats all spine diseases with advanced techniques. With small skin incisions (~ 1 cm) and the use of micro -magnification. This avoids bleeding and minimizes the destruction of adjacent tissues by achieving a perfect surgical effect.
Includes techniques such as:
- OR epidural infusion, the perforation infusion In the nerve roots that come from spine, arthritis of the back joints and inflammation of the rear joints Injections in the nice grid They are performed under radioscopic guidance across the spine and with local anesthesia.
- OR Thermal or Chemical Sleeping of the intervertebral disk core (discoplasty).
- Endoscopic therapy:
- Removing the disc hernia, as well as plastic of this fibrous ring, in order to minimize postoperative pain and complications.
- Rooting for waist pain (back pain) derived from arthritis or inflammation of the hind joints of the spine (Facet Joints) by annihilating the laser or special diathermy with the side nerve branches responsible for causing pain.
- Decomposition with deduction or semiconductor in cases such as the central stenosis of the spine.
- Termatoplasty, that is, drilling-drilling and decompression of the nerve structures in lateral stenosis.
If the patient needs widespread decompression in the spine for some reason, transdermally, micro -invasive or endoscopically decompression, as well as transdermal vertebralization, ie the placement of screws and endoscopic spine That is, the installation of an endoscope of intervertebral cages to stabilize the spine with the intraoperative use of a special C-ARMM as well as/or use when needed by special navigator O-ARM or Robot guidance.
Dealing fixed spine fractures
Stable spine fractures due to an injury or automatic mechanism due to spine strain and some attendance of pathology such as osteoporosis or other diseases are treated with transdermal cystoplastythat is, internal recovery and stabilization of transdermal fractures with the intraoperative use of a special radioscopic C-ARM without the need for transfusion, while the patient may walk without immediate postoperative support.
Many of the above techniques are performed with local anesthesia. Thus, the patient usually leaves the hospital on the same day, that is, a few hours after surgery, returning to his usual activities as soon as possible.
Proper treatment of spine diseases is based on scientific documentation and personalized approach. Following the principles of Evidence-Based Medicine and the philosophy of Step by Step, each treatment is designed with the aim: The best possible result, with the smallest possible surgery and less pain.
Science shows the way. Specialized care makes the difference.
