Even in surgeries requiring fixation with plates and screws, we apply the most advanced minimally invasive arthrodesis techniques, using the microscope to achieve maximum precision and a faster recovery.
At Dr. Bernardo Mosqueira's Clinic, we work every day with a clear purpose: to restore quality of life to people suffering from back pain, especially from herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Thanks to our experience and the use of microsurgical techniques and minimally invasive approaches, only 5% of our patients require arthrodesis with plates and screws.Here you can see the statistics for the past year.And when this is necessary, we also perform it in the most respectful and precise way possible with the tissues.
These have been the recent cases of Braulia and Rafaela lumbar arthrodesis. We invite you to watch the procedure live from the operating room.“Our philosophy is not to use screws, but a small percentage of patients require minor fixation to improve their quality of life,” explains neurosurgeon Bernardo Mosqueira. For this, Clínica Dr. Mosqueira has the best team, including Dr. Fernández Carballaland the best minimally invasive technique.
Minimally invasive arthrodesis: precision with the least impact
Spinal fusion is a surgical technique that stabilizes the spine by joining two or more vertebrae, sometimes using plates or screws. At our clinic, even these procedures are performed with a minimally invasive approach, using a surgical microscope, small incisions, and advanced technology. This reduces bleeding and postoperative pain, and accelerates recovery, allowing patients to return to their daily lives sooner and with fewer aftereffects. "The patient has a lower risk of infection, undergoes small incisions of just a few centimeters, and can go home within 24-48 hours," emphasizes Dr. Mosqueira.
As mentioned above, the philosophy at Clínica Dr. Mosqueira is to avoid using plates or screws, always opting for microsurgery as the primary approach. In most cases—whether lumbar or cervical disc herniation or spinal stenosis—fixation is not necessary. Thanks to the spinal microsurgeryWe were able to release the compressed nerve structures without altering spinal stability. These high-precision techniques allow us to preserve natural anatomy, reducing the risk of complications and offering long-lasting results with minimal surgical impact.
Put yourself in the best hands and with the best team
Personalized care, natural approach, and professionalism. Our priority is always clear: to treat the root cause of the pain with the least possible impact on the patient's body. Even when surgery requires fixation, we use the latest technology and precision to make the process as minimally invasive as possible. Because behind every procedure is a person who wants something very simple: to live pain-free again. If you are considering this type of procedure, learn about the available options and choose a specialized team to guide you every step of the way.
