Available Programs

• Minimally Invasive Treatment and Endoscopic Surgery for Spinal and Spinal Cord Disorders【New Spine Clinic Tokyo】

  This treatment program is led by Dr. Ken Ishii, who has pioneered the fields of minimally invasive spinal treatment and spinal endoscopic surgery as a university professor. Based on accurate diagnosis, we propose the most appropriate treatment for all spinal and spinal cord disorders.

  Dr. Ken Ishii has performed over 6,500 diverse spinal and spinal cord surgeries as a university professor. By thoroughly evaluating the pathology and symptoms, he provides an accurate diagnosis and proposes the most suitable treatment plan, including minimally invasive spinal treatments and endoscopic surgery. Prior to surgery, additional tests such as nerve blocks and CT scans are conducted as needed. Endoscopic surgery for herniated discs is generally performed as a same-day procedure without requiring hospitalization. Even for surgeries that require hospitalization, the use of minimally invasive techniques typically reduces the hospital stay to about 1–2 weeks.
