"I am very grateful, the doctor's name is Emil Akhmetovych
I received a paid consultation from a neurosurgeon, it decided my fate, I did not regret it for a moment, because in another clinic they imposed on me the opinion that I needed an implant, I decided to go to the Spizhenko clinic on the recommendation of bookimed, and I was very pleasantly surprised that in such a clinic they did not incline me to surgery with an implant, and they did not persuade me to their side at all, I received the opinion of a doctor independent of money, I am very grateful, the doctor's name is Emil Akhmetovych.

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

The ward is excellent, the attentive staff, the surgeon is a master of his craft, testing, organization, time accuracy at a high level. It’s bad that there is a lack of Russian-speaking staff, without English knowledge it can be difficult to explain what is needed, the Russian-speaking Yako-coordinator is busy and it is difficult to find it urgently. The kitchen could to be more European, but enough food and quite tolerable. I ordered the interpreter when I met at the airport and departure separately.

Владислав • Sep 23, 2022
Hello, my name is Vladislav Ivanov, Ukraine, Odessa city. In February 2021, my daughter Vlada was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, we went to the doctors for a week trying to find out why the child started having severe headaches. They went through examinations, did an MRI, and as a fact, they found a brain tumor. That's when the ground slipped from under my feet. Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action. The first thing we did was go to the children's hospital in Kyiv, the child was given a shunt. But unfortunately, fluid began to collect in my head and my vision began to fall sharply. The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed. We did not have a large accumulated amount, and we decided to complete the operation abroad. We contacted Bookmed. We contacted the employee Marina. Marina quickly found a clinic for us in Turkey, organized a trip for us, flew to Turkey in a matter of days. The hospital was already waiting for us. Examined, took blood for tests and the next day an operation was scheduled. Everything went well. Then they underwent a course of radiotherapy. The results are positive, we were sent home to Ukraine (August 2021). Every 3 months they underwent MRI, the pictures were good .. But a year later, in March 2022, we heard the terrible words “relapse”, “war”. Hastily collected the necessary documents and left for Lviv. From there, by large buses, all children with cancer began to be taken out along the humanitarian corridor from Ukraine to Europe. The daughter and his wife were assigned to France. A second operation was performed, the tumor was removed, and after that a course of chemotherapy was prescribed. After a month of taking the course, the doctor said that chemotherapy was not helping. The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn't help either. As a result, the daughter is getting worse and worse every day. The child began to walk badly, the right leg and handle practically do not work. The child melted before my eyes. It's all very scary, but it's worse to leave Vlad without an opportunity for treatment. I again turned to Marina Bookmed Marina again very quickly found us a hospital in Turkey, helped us with the flight Paris Istanbul. Arrived at the hospital 2 days later, the operation was successful!!! After the operation, the child began to talk, swallow, and after a couple of days to walk. What I want to say Bookmed in particular Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level. Marina many thanks to you and your team THANK YOU.

Great and thorough communication, after weeks of research we ended up choosing Prof. Oliver, had a Skype consultation and scheduled the surgery a few months later. My mother got the best care, the surgery went perfect despite all the risks associated with brain surgery. I can’t thank Prof. Oliver Bartolome enough, his skill is a gift from God! He was extremely kind and patient and answered all the questions throughout our hospital stay and follow up appointments. The surgery bought us +10 precious years with our mother which is priceless! The hospital is very clean, food is good and staff is friendly; great views of the Tibidabo from the hospital room and gorgeous green manicured gardens that lead to the main entrance. The place is huge, it took me a couple days to learn my way around from the parking to all the right departments.

Please note that everything here is based on Turkish, only doctors can communicate in English. It can be seen how much Turkey has advanced and is self-sufficient. I am grateful to fate that I met the professor - neurosurgeon Chagatay Ozturk. Easy to communicate, concise, it is immediately clear that the highest level specialist, after the examination, identified the problem and showed it on the MRI scan and explained what was to come. An operation was performed to remove the hernia on L5-S1 and a titanium disc was installed. The atmosphere of the team was very favorable and cozy, there was a high level of coherence and discipline. The concern was such that I did not feel any pain or heaviness, although they say that the operation was not an easy one. On the second day after the operation, I already walked and on the sixth day I was already discharged. Finally I got rid of pain and sleepless nights over the years! I recommend to everyone, wizards work here - professionals in their field! Best regards, Gaziz Kissym Kazakhstan

My stay in the clinic was not long, but the volume of the operation was huge, in my opinion. I felt not bad, like many patients of this clinic, after the operation the next day, after the examination, I was allowed to go home. Everything was fine in the ward clean, sterile where necessary, I have no complaints about this. The clinic itself has a calm and cozy atmosphere. The staff is polite and understanding. And, of course, I would like to mention the surgeon Mindaugas Kazanavičius, who performed the operation and coped brilliantly tasks. Many thanks to him for this!

What are the types of discectomy?

In world neurosurgical practice, the following types of discectomy are used:

  • classic discectomy;
  • microdiscectomy (using a special surgical microscope);
  • endoscopic microdiscectomy (minimally invasive disc removal through several incisions up to 2 cm).

What are the indications for surgery?

Discectomy is prescribed for such diseases:

  • intervertebral hernia, which compresses the nerve roots of the spinal cord;
  • changes in the spinal disc with osteochondrosis;
  • disc injury and injury
  • narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis).

What are the contraindications for discectomy?

Contraindications for discectomy:

  • blood clotting disorders;
  • oncological diseases;
  • inflammation and infection;
  • diabetes;
  • pregnancy;
  • disorders of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

What examination should be done before the intervention?

Before discectomy, the patient undergoes an examination, which includes:

  • blood chemistry;
  • coagulogram;
  • electrocardiography;
  • x-ray of the lungs;
  • radiography;
  • computed (CT) or magnetic resonance (MRI) tomography.

How long does a discectomy take?

The duration of the operation is from 30 minutes to 2 hours , depending on the surgical approach chosen by the doctor (open, endoscopic.) After 6 hours, the patient can already get up and walk.

Hospitalization does not exceed 3 days .

How is an intervertebral disc removed?

Discectomy is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the localization of the intervertebral hernia, the operation is performed in the areas of the cervical, thoracic or lumbar regions.

The discectomy is performed by a neurosurgeon. With an open intervention, he performs an incision up to 10 cm , through which he removes the damaged intervertebral disc.

If necessary, the doctor fixes the vertebrae with a special frame or replaces the intervertebral disc with an artificial one.

The operation lasts up to 2 hours .

For the first 2 months after the intervention, doctors recommend wearing a supporting corset.

microdiscectomy

The incision for microdiscectomy is only 3 cm , and the total duration of the operation does not exceed 1.5 hours .

Endoscopic microdiscectomy

When performing an endoscopic microdiscectomy, doctors use local anesthesia . The incision does not exceed 2 cm . The duration of the operation is less than half an hour .

What complications can occur after the removal of the spinal disc?

After any type of discectomy, there is a possibility of developing some complications:

  • sensory disturbance in the extremities;
  • development of a hernia in adjacent intervertebral discs;
  • deep vein thrombosis of the legs;
  • inflammatory process in the spinal cord and its membrane.
