program details
This is a muscle-friendly, minimally invasive posterior decompression of the cervical spine. Using a surgical microscope, this procedure reduces the extent of the incision and the development of the surgical field, and decompresses only the lesion. Although technically very advanced, the procedure is gentle on the patient with minimal blood loss and postoperative pain. This surgery is indicated for conditions that cause numbness, pain, or paralysis as a result of compression of the nerves in the cervical spine. These include cervical disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament.

Depending on the extent of the lesion, a 4 to 8 cm vertical incision is made in the posterior neck under general anesthesia, and the necessary extent is developed, preserving as much muscle attachment to the bone as possible. Using a surgical microscope, the bone is carefully removed and the spinal cord is decompressed. The opertion time is 1-2 hours and the patient is kept in bed for 2 days after the surgery and will be able to walk from the third day. Patients are discharged from the hospital after the wound has settled 10 days after surgery. The average number of surgeries performed during the last three years was 211 per year. Cervical spine surgery cannot completely eliminate symptoms. Numbness, pain, and other paralysis can remain. Although rare, it is possible for paralysis to worsen. Postoperative infection occurs in a few patients. In those cases, as reoperation under general anesthesia is required, hospital stay is prolonged. In 2021, the infection rate was 3.0%.

CBTmethod（cortical bone trajectory)（Murayama Medical Center）

This is a muscle-friendly posterior lumbar fusion technique. Using intraoperative fluoroscopy, screws are inserted into the cortical bone (the hard part of the bone) from the inside to the outside and from the caudal to the head. Although technically very advanced, it provides a patient-friendly procedure with minimal blood loss and mild postoperative pain.
This is for conditions where there is instability of the lumbar spine and numbness, pain, and paralysis have appeared. Lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal canal stenosis with instability, and lumbar spondylolisthesis are the targets.

Although technically very advanced, it provides a patient-friendly procedure with minimal blood loss and mild postoperative pain. It is intended for conditions where numbness, pain, and paralysis appear as a result of nerve compression in the lumbar spine. Lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal canal stenosis are the targets.
