This is the most common and effective surgical treatment for herniated discs. After a minimal incision of 1.5 to 3 cm in the skin, a surgical microscope with more than 10 to 15x magnification is inserted to directly observe the lesion site. At the same time, the disc or bone that is pressing on the nerve is scraped off to reduce the pressure on the nerve, relieve pain and widen the narrowed spinal canal. Because it is a minimally invasive operation, bleeding is minimal, and damage to normal muscles or bones is minimized, so recovery is fast enough to be able to walk on the day of surgery.

It is a surgical procedure in which the vertebral bones and protruding discs that have undergone degenerative changes are removed through minimal incision and a spinal fusion fixation device is used to connect and fix all the vertebrae to a single spine so that they do not move. This is a treatment method in which a small hole is made and a screw is inserted and fixed in the hole, which dramatically reduces bleeding and muscle damage.

Under general anesthesia, a 3-4 cm incision is made and the lesion area is checked in real time, while the damaged disc and bone fragments are removed and an ergonomically optimized artificial disc is inserted. The original disk is replaced by a specially designed artificial disc that prevents the vertebrae from being worn out. This artificial disc prevents the neck from being restricted in movement after surgery, and its movement is very similar to that of the original disc, such that it not only maintains the mobility of the spine, but also prevents the disadvantage of degenerative deterioration of the adjacent segments, which is a disadvantage of fusion.

After a 7mm diameter endoscope tube is inserted into the disc, its monitor allows the disc to be viewed during the surgery in which the protruding disk is removed with a high-frequency laser. Because it preserves the normal disc nucleus pulposus without damaging the bones, nerves, and muscles, the incidence of nerve adhesions is very low and the incidence of complications is significantly reduced. In addition, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which is good for the elderly and diabetic patients who have difficulty under general anesthesia, and the incision of less than 1cm leaves almost no scars. You can be discharged from the hospital 2-3 days after surgery, so you can quickly return to your daily life.

To treat disc degeneration accompanied by chronic low back pain that occurs during disc damage and degeneration, high-frequency heat injection is used without incision using a special needle. After a heat conduction wire is inserted into the disk through a thin injection, it is heated to 90 degrees Celsius for 3 to 5 minutes using high-frequency heat. It selectively blocks only the nerves that cause pain around the disc, and constricts and thickens the collagen fibers that make up the disc wall, making the disc stronger.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty

Percutaneous vertebroplasty is mainly performed for vertebral compression fractures in which the vertebrae have collapsed due to osteoporosis or a fall. Unlike incisional surgery, the needle is inserted closer to the vertebral bone where the compression fracture has occurred, and bone cement that is harmless to the human body is injected to reinforce the stability of the bone.

Kyphon Balloon Kyphoplasty

In this procedure, the pain and instability caused by compression fractures of the spine is removed percutaneously. A vertebra that has been lowered by a compression fracture is stretched with a balloon, and cement is inserted in the stretched area. The more recent the fracture, the better the effect. In order to diagnose the fractured area, we use the patient's interview, physical examination, and magnetic resonance imaging of the spine to determine the location and suitability of the procedure.

After local anesthesia is applied to the patient's tailbone, a catheter with a special function is inserted to the lesion site. In this non-surgical procedure, unnecessary tissue is removed from the spine or cervical spine, or drugs are injected to remove inflammatory substances and release the adherent nerves. Because the neuroplasty tool is a thin needle, there is almost no discomfort or scar, and no special treatment is required after the procedure. In addition, the procedure doesn’t take long, about 10 minutes, and it is possible to return to daily life after resting for 1 to 2 hours.

When a disc herniation or stenosis occurs, inflammatory substances that stimulate nerves are secreted in the site, constricting blood vessels, obstructing blood flow, and causing oxygen deficiency or ischemia. This can lead to severe pain in the back and legs, even if the nerve is not severely compressed. In this procedure, drugs are directly injected using a special needle into the nerve branches that cause back pain or neck pain, which is guided by an image amplifier (C-arm) for real-time observation. In addition, it removes inflammation around the nerves, relieves pain, and induces a normal response of the autonomic nervous system. In general, nerve block once or twice within a week may lead to a big effect, and depending on the patient, pain can be relieved quickly with just one treatment.
