Mircosurgical operations

Microsurgical surgery enables doctors precise work on a very small area. The skin incision is fairly small. Whereas the essential opening of the spine is only approximately 2×1,5 cm. The powerful illumination of the working channel, with help of the surgical microscope, enables very good dimensional perception – the doctor is able to recognise smallest structures precisely.

Thus, the concerned intervertebral disc can be exposed and removed without trace and without injuring adjacent vertebrals in the process.

This is also relevant for the surgery of spinal stenosis. If spinal stenosis is left untreated, in the worst case it may lead to paraplegia. Minimally invasive surgery guarantees quick pain relief, a short healing process and shorter hospital residence than conventional methods.
