Percutaneous endoscopic laser lumbar discectomy
Percutaneous endoscopic laser lumbar discectomy uses laser to block the pain-sensing nerves in the annulus fibrosus without Non-open surgery that can damage nerves and muscles is a minimally invasive treatment method between conservative treatment and surgical treatment.
This recently implemented treatment is the third generation of laser treatment, which is more advanced than the previous two generations of laser treatment. Since 2006, the development of endoscope and laser technology has enabled it to achieve higher precision, and operating techniques have also been further developed, with the surgical success rate reaching 94%. As diagnostic technology becomes more and more precise, the latest methods in imaging can be used to perform more accurate and safer procedures.
Endoscopic laser cervical discectomy
Percutaneous endoscopic laser cervical discectomy is used to treat soft cervical disc herniation, in which the patient's nucleus pulposus is torn from The annulus fibrosus flows out and compresses the nerves of the shoulder and upper limbs.
Different from the traditional surgical method of incising the skin to remove all intervertebral discs, this method uses new treatments with cutting-edge international technology to retain most of the intervertebral disc tissue, minimizing complications and making it possible for elderly and diabetic patients. Get treatment with confidence and ease.
Percutaneous endoscopic laser annuloplasty
Percutaneous endoscopic laser annuloplasty uses a thin and soft endoscope, combined with the world's latest medical technology, For the treatment of chronic low back pain caused by intervertebral disc disease.
Percutaneous endoscopic cervical annuloplasty
Anatomically speaking, the spinal canal of the cervical spine is narrower than that of the lumbar spine, so even the smallest Herniated disc fragments can also easily compress nerves. If the herniation of the nucleus pulposus of the cervical intervertebral disc is minor (the fragment is in the posterior longitudinal ligament or annulus fibrosus, the symptoms include pain in the neck and shoulders, numbness and pain in the upper limbs), or if cervical spondylosis causes vertigo, Patients can recover from cervical discoplasty simply by performing endoscopic surgery without surgery.
Since doctors in France, Germany, the United States, Japan and other countries have implemented non-incisional methods to treat cervical disc disease in 1988, the spine surgery research team of our Hospital has learned from relevant experience and technology, and in 1992 Endoscopic minimally invasive cervical discoplasty was developed. This new surgical treatment is particularly suitable for soft disc herniations. The laser with a penetration diameter of 0.5mm equipped with an endoscope can safely remove the lesions without injuring the spinal cord at all.
Endoscopic Thoracic Discoplasty
Although the incidence of thoracic disc herniation is low, if not treated in time, the disease will develop into slow walking and difficulty in urination and defecation. Difficult point. When patients experience symptoms such as thoracic pain, chest pain, back pain, lumbago, leg numbness, sciatica, intermittent claudication, etc., further differential diagnosis is required to determine whether the thoracic disc herniation or other causes are the cause. The best way to diagnose a herniated disc is with an MRI.
Intravertebral disc high-frequency electrothermal therapy
Intravertebral disc high-frequency electrothermal therapy (IDET) uses special electric heating needles to treat chronic discogenic low back pain caused by intervertebral disc damage and degeneration. A non-surgical treatment. Our hospital has long introduced advanced medical equipment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and implemented this treatment method. Lumbar discoplasty using high-frequency electric heating also belongs to the application field of this technology.
CT-guided minimally invasive spine treatment
CT-guided minimally invasive spine treatment is performed on lesions on spinal nerves, intervertebral discs, ligaments or joints without surgery. A method of treatment. With the assistance of the world's most advanced computerized tomography equipment, operations can be performed more safely and accurately. In the past, pain treatment only used image amplifiers, so there was a risk of damaging nerves, blood vessels, and major organs when treating the muscles and ligaments around the nerve roots. However, computer image-guided pain treatment uses multiple spiral CT (MD-CT) and multi-imaging cameras, so it is a safe, fast, and accurate diagnosis and treatment system. In addition, this operation can be simulated through computer programs for diagnosis and treatment, thereby helping doctors find the exact location and direction of the operation, choose the best treatment path, and perform the most precise operation in the shortest time.
Wolip Hospital is the first hospital in Korea to implement this advanced operation method.
Angiography and MRI-guided intervertebral disc treatment
Intervertebral disc treatment using angiography (X-ray Angiography) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Therapeutics is a new spinal disc treatment system. Before and after the endoscopic laser operation process, there is real-time cooperation with MRI diagnosis and cutting-edge image amplifier. X-MRI is a new type of intervertebral disc treatment equipment that combines interventional radiography equipment (interventional X-Ray) and a magnetic resonance imaging device (MRI) for spinal tomography. Our hospital cooperated with the Dutch company Philips and was the first in the world to introduce this equipment, which is currently used in the hospital's non-surgical spine comprehensive treatment center.
