Good evening !!! I was in the clinic for a consultation in early September. Dr. Bul and the staff are very polite, attentive, calm, and what is surprising, they are not trying to make money on you, but they offer options for cheaper treatment and testing. No one tried to scare or speed up the treatment process, but on the contrary, explained the risks and different methods of treatment, which encouraged and inspired hope for a favorable resolution of my problem.

What is important to know about discectomy?

  • A discectomy is the partial or complete removal of an intervertebral disc. The procedure allows you to get rid of a hernia of the spine.
  • The operation is safe due to the use of special surgical robots. These units calculate the optimal access to the damaged disc based on examination data and monitor the location of surgical instruments in real time. Such an operation minimizes the possibility of medical errors and subsequent complications.
  • The patient can return to normal life after discectomy in a week , if doctors perform the operation using modern sparing techniques: endoscopy and microsurgery. These methods allow you to remove the disc through 3-4 thin punctures up to 2 cm in size. In order not to damage the nerve endings and blood vessels, doctors use special optical devices that create an accurate magnified image of the structures of the spine. This discectomy is performed with minimal risk of side effects. The next day after the operation, the patient moves freely.
  • The success of discectomy depends on the experience of doctors. In the CIS countries, doctors began to perform endoscopic and microsurgical operations only a few years ago. They have been held in Europe and Israel for more than 10 years.

Bookimed has collected clinics around the world where world-class discectomy is available. The rating is formed based on the choice of our patients. You can ask all additional questions to our coordinator, who will contact you after you leave a request on the site. He will guide you on the cost of the procedure, help you choose a clinic, make an appointment with a doctor or an examination. You do not pay for Bookimed services. Find out how we work
