We are here for you
The health and well-being of our patients is most important to us.
The health and well-being of our patients is most important to us.
We realise that for many people staying in hospital can be a stressful experience, which is why we have collected the most important information about our diagnostic process, hospital conditions and price list. If your doubts have not been resolved, contact the Patient’s guardian who will provide you with further information.
The patient can contact the patient’s caretaker or a neurosurgeon if possible. Please prepare your medical history, including test results, such as magnetic resonance imaging. They will be necessary at the consultation stage for assessment whether the patient is eligible for surgery.
Having analysed the Patient’s health and pre-qualifying for surgery, the doctor will suggest further consultations. This will allow an in-depth preparation for surgery.
You are in the hands of the best specialists who care about your comfort from the first moment in the hospital.
The surgery using the endoscopic method takes less than an hour, and you will get out of bed the same day.
After surgery, the patient is under care and we regularly monitor their health condition.
Based on post-operative surveys, we check the progress of rehabilitation and the pace of recovery.
After the surgery, we invite the patient for a check-up visit to make sure that recovery is going as planned.
During meetings with patients, we observe how positively their lives change after surgery, and how quickly they get rid of back pain.
Surgeries in physiological saline are the most modern methods, which allow you to reduce bleeding, decrease trauma, and better visualize the operating field with minimal access. The working channel in modern endoscopes has the diameter of a slightly thicker pen. The Wolf endoscope, which I work on, is currently, the most modern and allows the most demanding surgeries. It enables safe operation of patients with even the most advanced spine diseases.
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed using anendoscope. When performing endoscopic surgery, the surgeon inserts a guidewire through a small incision, i.e. a metal tube with a diameter of 8 mm, whichallows accessing the site of the spinal canal narrowing. The surgery is carried outusing miniature surgical instruments. Fragments responsible for pressure on thenerves are removed with micro scissors, bone rongeurs and diamond drills.Diamond drills allow cutting bones without risking damage to nerve structures.They slide over them, but are unable to damage them.
Endoscopic spine surgery is just as effective as open surgery, but the benefits of endoscopic surgery are incomparable. When using the endoscopic method: – The spine mobility is preserved, avoiding unnecessary fusion. – Bleeding is minimal, if any. The scar after incision one of a few millimetres. – There are less than 3% of complications, such as wound infection, spinal infection, nerve injuries, etc., which makes endoscopic surgery far less risky than open spine surgery. In addition, no mortality associated with endoscopic spine surgery has been reported anywhere in the world. – Recovery takes several weeks, not months, which is the case with open spine surgery. Hospital stay is 24 hours. Surgeons who perform endoscopic spine surgery must have special training, experience, skills and a passion for using modern techniques.
Recovery after endoscopic surgery of the spine depends on the patient’s physical condition, the extent and duration of the disease, and the complexity of the surgery. In the case of, for example, a hernia in the lumbar spine, recovery usually takes several days. In other cases it’s up to 6 weeks. Most patients return to light work within 2-3 weeks, and to full activity within 6 weeks. After surgery, physiotherapy is required.
