Surely most of you have expressed some discomfort in your back and, according to different studies, around 85% of people experience pain in that area at some point in their lives., affecting eight out of ten. The type, intensity, and duration of this condition must also be taken into account in order to classify it as acute, when it appears suddenly and persists only for a few days or weeks, or chronic, when it lasts more than three months. In the latter case, the problem becomes more serious. Let's talk about the spinal pathologies that are key for Dr. Mosqueira.
To identify the specific problem, a professional examination is required. Within this percentage of people who suffer from chronic back problems, it primarily affects older adults. One of the key pathologies that Dr. Mosqueira treats with his surgical microscope is spinal stenosis. This arises mainly in patients over 65 years of age, becoming the leading cause of spinal surgeryDue to degenerative causes, the bone tissue and joints in the spinal canal may increase in size, as well as the ligaments found in this area.
As a result of this, The space through which the nerve roots pass is narrowed. If this continues, they can become compressed and cause symptoms.In the case of stenosis of the lumbar canal (lower back), it can be associated with the appearance of one or more herniated disks, which further compresses the nerve roots; while in cervical canal (neck) stenosis, the entire spinal cord can even be compressed, causing damage to it.
Lumbar and cervical, as well as hernias as spinal pathologies to be treated
Herniated discs, both lumbar and cervical, the latter being less frequent among the population, affect a large number of people and become, along with spinal canal stenosis, the most frequently treated pathologies at Dr. Mosqueira Clinic within the Neurosurgery specialty in the field of the spine. A herniated disc is associated with a displacement or rupture of the intervertebral discIt is a disease that affects the disc (cartilaginous shock absorbers found between the vertebrae), which is moves towards the nerve root and causes compression that leads to intense pain." To understand it better, let's take it step by step.
All the vertebrae, or individual bones, make up the spine. Each disc has a closed nucleus wrapped in a ring. This ring eventually tears when the nucleus pushes outward. It ultimately compresses a nerve, causing pain to radiate to other areas of the body. Dr. Bernardo Mosqueira, thanks to his knowledge and use of the surgical microscope, seeks to give patients the quality of life they desire. The neurosurgeon, unlike the traumatologist, handles this instrument perfectly. doctor to intervene. The pain ends and in 24-48 hours you're walking without remembering the nightmare. Treatment with a surgical microscope brings successful results, ranging from rapid patient recovery to a high success rate with hardly any after-effects, but there is a specific technique for each problem.
