For more than 10 years in spinal stabilization operations, I only use a mini-invasive surgical approach. This is an operation that is considerably more gentle to paraspinal muscles and other structures along the lumbar spine. These are two small cuts of the skin (see picture) that introduce the retractor between the muscula septums and then the spine stabilizes and releases the nerve structures, then the degenerate disc is removed and replaced. Most of the operation is performed under a microscope. With this technique, one to three motion segments can be treated for a differently advanced degenerative disability of the spine.

This type of performance is considerably more patient-friendly. Especially in the protection of paraspinal muscles and other soft structures that significantly contribute to the stability of backbone segments. Furthermore, in a much smaller peroperative blood loss. All of these factors greatly accelerate postoperative rehabilitation, return to normal life, and length of hospitalization. Postoperatively, the patient wears the lumbar band / belt as a standard approach for a total of 3 months.

For this type of exercise, patients are indicated on the basis of the nature of the disease, always after a complete reassessment. As a result, the patient will be given an understanding of whether this approach is suitable for him / her.
