Treatment of the spine through open surgery is unfortunately not always effective and can also be quite traumatic. Such interventions lead to the formation of scar tissue, which then provokes irritation of the nerve endings at the site of the operation. Neurosurgeons at Top Ihilov are thoroughly skilled in the techniques of performing endoscopic surgeries to remove destructive neoplasms, quickly alleviating pain for many years. All medical procedures are performed using the most modern equipment. This ensures diagnostic accuracy and the virtuosity of the intervention.
By choosing treatment at Top Ihilov, you will finally be free from exhausting and quality-of-life diminishing back pain, regain your physical activity, and be able to lead a full life. The level at which endoscopic spine correction is performed in Israel will be most eloquently told by the reviews of healed patients.
In what cases is endoscopic spine correction performed in Israel?
Endoscopic surgeries aim to eliminate degenerative changes in intervertebral discs using a minimally invasive method. Such interventions are applicable for addressing transformations in the bone and cartilage tissues of the spine, which include:
- hernias and protrusions of intervertebral discs;
- osteophytes as a consequence of advanced osteochondrosis.
With this treatment, the natural position of the vertebrae, as well as the mobility of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine, is not disturbed.
Stages of the Procedure
In endoscopic correction of a hernia in the cervical region, access to the site of pathology is achieved from the front, while in the thoracic and lumbar regions, access is from the back.
Through a small incision, the neurosurgeon introduces a special device – an endoscope with a diameter of about 1 cm, inside which are flexible microsurgical instruments and optical fibers. The image of the surgical process, magnified several times, is transmitted to a monitor. The doctor passes a probe through the natural openings of the spine, without damaging the nerve endings and muscle fibers, but only gently displacing and moving them aside.
After the removal of neoplasms, the remaining part of the intervertebral disc returns to its place naturally. Over time, the myelin sheath of the nerve endings gradually restores.
Endoscopic spine correction in Israel is characterized by minimal traumatic effect, absence of postoperative complications, the possibility of applying the technique for patients of different ages, rapid restoration of spinal functionality – already by the second day, elimination of pain symptoms for a long period – up to 20 years, and a short duration of the surgical intervention – up to 1.5 hours.
Before the operation, the patient undergoes a thorough examination, which includes MRI, ECG, blood tests, rheumatological tests, and coagulation tests.
