Frequently Asked Questions

1
What is spinal surgery

Spinal surgery — a highly specialized medical discipline that deals with operations on spine and spinal cord for their various diseases, injuries and fractures.

Spinal surgery is at the intersection of several disciplines: neurology, neurosurgery, traumatology, orthopedics, and others.

The decision on the choice of method of treatment is made by council of doctors in each specific case on basis of:

  • Analysis of the disease,
  • Reasons,
  • Expression,
  • Duration of pathology,
  • The patient’s age,
  • The presence or absence of other illnesses.

For this purpose, doctors of various specialties are involved: therapists, cardiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons, as well as pulmonologists, traumatologists and orthopedists.

How are spine surgeries performed

All operations are performed using innovative microsurgical techniques that minimize the risk of complications.

In specialized foreign clinics, modern equipment is used that allows performing the most complex neurosurgical operations with minimal intervention.

1
What diseases is spinal surgery performed for

Diseases and common conditions that spinal surgeons treat include:

  • Herniated discs,
  • Spine injury (vertebral fracture),
  • Scoliosis,
  • Spinal cord tumors,
  • Spinal infections,

Degenerative spine disease: stenosis (narrowing) of the spinal canal, osteochondrosis etc.

1
Innovative spinal surgery methods

In leading foreign clinics, the following types of spinal surgery are used:

  • Microsurgery,
  • Minimally invasive procedures under the microscope,
  • Implantation of artificial intervertebral discs (prosthetics),
  • Closure of the fiber ring (annulus repair),
  • Cryotherapy, laser surgery, nucleoplasty,
  • Spinal cord stimulation.

When to seek help if I have back pain

You should immediately consult a doctor if you have:

  • Pain:
  • Unusually strong, constant and intensifying,
  • Doesn’t go away with over-the-counter pain relievers,
  • Irradiates to arms, legs,
  • At the same time occurs with fever or night sweats,
  • Numbness of intimate body parts or the inner thighs,
  • Impaired bladder or bowel emptying.
1
What are the benefits of spinal surgery

Experienced surgeons prefer spinal surgery due to a number of advantages over other types of therapy:

  • Length of stay in hospital is much shorter (up to 2-3 days),
  • Danger of infection in wound is much lower,
  • Number of painkillers used for volumetric surgeries is less,
  • Large tissue incisions are not used.
1
What are the benefits of minimally invasive spinal spine surgery

Minimally invasive spinal surgery — a modern approach to treatment of common diseases of spine.

The method involves preserving tissue by splitting muscles, rather than making large incisions and severing muscles from bones.

Thus, with use of minimally invasive surgery, body structures are restored and function better than with conventional surgery. Recovery is faster and blood loss during surgery is less.

1
Why do patients choose spinal surgery abroad

The use of a number of modern instruments by foreign doctors during spinal surgery allows covering the full range of spinal problems.

The time of operation and length of stay in the clinic are reduced. Also, specialized clinics have created the most convenient conditions for postoperative rehabilitation.
