Endoscopic surgeries of the lumbar spine under local anesthesia are our daily routine. For more than 15 years we have been enabling patients to recover significantly faster, with less pain and less risk with this minimally-invasive neurosurgical technique.
However, something special and truly unique are transforaminal endoscopic surgeries of the thoracic spine, which we have also been performing under local anesthesia for more than ten years.
Because of this very advanced, innovative and minimally-invasive alternative to open (traditional) thoracic spinal surgeries, our services are chosen by patients from all over the world. We are especially proud of the fact that numerous fellow neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons from many countries refer their patients to us.
Alternatives to transforaminal endoscopic surgeries of the thoracic spine under local anesthesia are much riskier and more dangerous traditional surgeries under general anesthesia with a very high percentage of serious complications.
