Dr. Bernardo Mosqueira, thanks to his knowledge and skill with the surgical microscope, eliminates the pain, and in 24-48 hours you'll be walking without remembering the nightmare. Noninvasive microsurgery offers significant benefits, a precise technique for treating your lumbar or cervical hernia, leaving a small incision of just four centimeters.
“My specialty as a neurosurgeon is herniated discs and stenosis"," says Bernardo Mosqueira. The spine should be left in the hands of a specialized neurosurgeon. "In mild cases, conservative treatment may be indicated initially. Surgery would be indicated in cases where symptoms do not respond to these indications and in severe cases," says our neurosurgeon Mosqueira, who has no slipped disc. Treatment with a surgical microscope brings successful results, ranging from rapid patient recovery to a high success rate with virtually no after-effects, but there's a specific technique for each problem. Microdiscectomy is a prominent technique.
In Neurosurgery, thanks to the use of the surgical microscope, we find the best solution for herniated discs, especially lumbar, but also cervical. In mild cases, as mentioned above, conservative treatment may be indicated. For herniated discs, the most frequently performed intervention in these cases is a microdiscectomy, which involves removing the intervertebral disc that is causing compression, that is, removing the dislocated disc fragment that is compressing the nerve roots. A titanium graft can be placed to replace the removed disc without causing any loss of cervical spine height, in cases where it is deemed necessary.
That's why we always say that your spine should be treated by a specialized neurosurgeon. "If the back problem persists for more than a month," It is important to go to a specialist to give a diagnosis,” explains the Dr. Mosqueira. “Many times we think it is just a problem and with the passage of time it not only becomes more serious or chronic but it can cause injuries in other parts of the body with complications", he adds.
Minimally invasive technique: microdiscectomy
Fewer complications and shorter recovery times, as well as discharge from the hospital in just 24-48 hours. This is achieved thanks to the noninvasive microsurgery, which brings multiple benefits to the patient. Treatment with a surgical microscope is often the only way to tackle spinal problems at their root. With this type of intervention, patients enjoy a Fast recovery, so much so that in a matter of days they are walking without any pain.
Microsurgery thus benefits the recovery of the patient and is positioned as a safe technique with a high success rate. The operation is performed with instruments that act through small incisions made in the body, causing the affected area to be reduced in size. With this, the stitches to close the wound are minimal without leaving a noticeable scar on the body part (three or four centimeters). This means that plates and screws are nonexistent, except in rare cases where the patient, due to a particularly serious problem, requires specific support. Getting rid of your hernia is simply a matter of using a microdiscectomy.
