A Minimally Invasive Approach

Spinal pathologies are a frequent cause of disabling pain and functional limitation. Disc herniations, stenosis, instability, and vertebral fractures can compromise quality of life and, in advanced cases, the patient's neurological integrity.

We apply minimally invasive microsurgical techniques, decompression, fixation, and disc replacement tailored to each pathology. This approach effectively reduces pain, preserves mobility, and accelerates recovery, returning the patient to daily activities in the shortest possible time.

Spine Surgery

01

Cervical disc herniation

Compression of nerves in the neck causing pain, tingling, or weakness in the arms. Treated with minimally invasive surgery or disc replacement.

02

Lumbar disc herniation

Nerve compression in the lower back causing pain radiating to the legs (sciatica). Managed with minimally invasive microsurgery and rapid recovery.

03

Spinal stenosis

Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerves or the spinal cord, causing pain and difficulty walking. Corrected through decompression surgery.

04

Vertebral instability

Abnormal movement between vertebrae that generates pain or neurological risk. Treated with fixation and stabilization techniques.

05

Spondylolisthesis

Displacement of one vertebra over another that may cause pain and nerve compression. Corrected through decompression and fusion surgery.

06

Vertebral fractures

Injuries from trauma or osteoporosis that may cause intense pain. Treated with minimally invasive techniques or reconstructive surgery.

07

Chronic low back pain

Persistent pain in the lower back that affects quality of life. Managed with advanced, minimally invasive procedures and personalized strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is minimally invasive spine surgery?

It is a set of microsurgical techniques that enable disc herniations, stenosis, and other spinal pathologies to be treated through smaller incisions, with less tissue damage and significantly faster recovery than traditional surgery.

How are cervical and lumbar disc herniations treated?

Cervical disc herniations are treated with minimally invasive surgery or disc replacement. Lumbar disc herniations, which cause pain radiating to the legs (sciatica), are managed with minimally invasive microsurgery and rapid recovery.

What options exist for vertebral instability and spondylolisthesis?

Vertebral instability is treated through fixation and stabilization techniques, while spondylolisthesis (displacement of one vertebra over another) is corrected with decompression and fusion surgery to relieve pain and protect nerve structures.
