If you have spine problems!

If you have been recommended a consultation for:

• Intervertebral disc herniation
• Progressive spinal canal stenosis
• Spondylosis
• Spondylolisthesis
• Scoliosis

If you experience:

• Pain radiating to the leg
• Persistent back pain (cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine)
• Weakness and numbness in the upper and lower limbs, impaired gait

NON-SURGICAL HERNIA TREATMENT

PUNCTURE METHOD

Injection into the disc under local anesthesia and radiological guidance of the French drug Discogel. The gelified ethanol dries out the hernia, Discogel hardens and turns into an implant (prosthesis) that replaces the damaged intervertebral disc.

COLD PLASMA NUCLEOPLASTY

A needle with an electrode diode is inserted through a micro-incision into the herniated nucleus pulposus. At a temperature of 40–50°C, the structures of the intervertebral disc gradually “evaporate.” The disc densifies and shrinks. As a result, the hernia retracts and stops pressing on the nerve roots, which eliminates pain and other unpleasant symptoms.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE BIPORTAL ENDOSCOPY (UBE)

This is an ultra-modern procedure using advanced endoscopic visualization systems, allowing the surgeon to operate without an open incision—only through two small punctures 1-2 cm in diameter. An endoscope is inserted through the first opening, projecting the image onto a monitor; special instruments are inserted through the other openings to perform the surgery. A key advantage of this method is that it is classified as “day surgery.”

Removal of intervertebral disc hernias, central and foraminal decompressions in stenoses, degenerative scoliosis, and spondylolisthesis have become routine procedures, after which patients go home the next day. No long months of rehabilitation—patients can return to their normal lives very soon.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE PERCUTANEOUS TRANS-PEDICULAR SCREW FIXATION FOR SPONDYLOLISTHESIS, INSTABILITY, AND OTHER SPINAL DEFORMITIES

Installing these systems does not require large skin incisions or muscle damage. Screws are placed into the vertebrae through small openings along guide wires. The screws are connected by a rod, which is also inserted without an incision using a special guide. Using minimally invasive transpedicular fixation results in almost no blood loss, significantly reduced surgery time, and no wound infection, while open surgery often leads to infectious complications that may require removal of the fixation devices.
