Israeli neurosurgeons use ultimate medical technologies:
1. Microscopic and endoscopic surgery of spinal cord injuries using intraoperative navigation system.
2. Treatment of spinal cord tumors. Our doctors work together with orthopedic oncologists and specialize in all types of oncology operations. These surgeries include removal of spine part (Enblock Resection), removal of the spinal cord tumors, radiation therapy (radiosurgery), focused computer radiation etc.
3. Spine injuries. Our surgeons treat a large number of patients with vertebral fractures and trauma, combining minimally invasive methods, without incision and significant surgical intervention ensuring fast recovery.
4. Treatment of elderly people who suffer multiple fractures due to low bone density (osteoporosis), and concomitant diseases.
5. Treatment of scoliosis and spine deformities in children and adults. Our physicians perform osteopathic surgery to correct postural deformities, as well as minimally invasive microsurgical operations to relieve pressure on the nerve.
6. Treatment of acute and chronic pain of the spine. Surgery doesn’t fit all the patients who suffer from back pain. In some cases, our doctors use non-surgical methods. They can include one time or repeated injections, performed under the X-ray control, stimulation of the spinal cord, medication, physical therapy, etc.
