This tool allows the surgeon to focus more closely on the procedure by magnifying the field of vision by 10x. It allows for more targeted treatment of the damaged area, creates a small incision of just four centimeters, and allows for a faster recovery.
Magic doesn't exist at Dr. Mosqueira Clinic, even if it seems so. Just as a magician never reveals his tricks, our neurosurgeon Bernardo Mosqueira, unlike the rest, does. He doesn't have a wand as a faithful companion, but he does have a microscope that helps him see life in a different way, to reach the damaged point of a patient who needs to be treated.With his surgical tool, which accompanies him every day at his workplace, he brings smiles to people's faces. First the problem is assessed, it is analyzed whether physical treatment or physiotherapy can alleviate the pain or prevent it from getting worse. Once the diagnosis is known, surgery should be chosen if conservative therapy is not useful..
Our followers on social media and over the phone are asking for more. Details regarding the type of interventions performed in our clinic to end back painThere are several options for treatment depending on the case, but the microscope is always the eye of Dr. Mosqueira. The most frequently requested and treated spinal pathologies are: Stenosis, being the first cause of back surgery in patients over 65 years of age, and herniated discs, both lumbar and cervical.
Specific treatments and techniques
"In mild cases, conservative treatment may be indicated initially. Surgical intervention would be indicated in cases where symptoms do not respond to these indications and in severe cases.", says our neurosurgeon Mosqueira, who cannot overcome a spinal canal stenosis or a herniated disc. 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.
What are the techniques used to resolve spinal canal stenosis so we can begin to enjoy our quality of life? On the one hand, there is the decompressive microlaminectomy, through which a small incision of about three centimeters is made in the back, following the line of the spine, specifically, of course, in the area where the pain is to remove part of a vertebra that causes compression of the nerves and thus release them. And, on the other hand, we can use the surgical procedure of microlaminoforaminotomy, releasing pressure on a nerve while widening the opening in the back where the nerve roots exit the spinal canal. Everything will depend on the level, location, and location of the narrowing of the spinal canal.
Always in mild cases, as we 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.
Different techniques, but always with the same protagonists: Dr. Mosqueira, his team and his microscope.
