During my recent interview on esRadioI had the opportunity to share my passion for neurosurgery. neurosurgeryespecially in the field of minimally invasive minimally invasive surgerya discipline that has radically transformed the treatment of various neurological pathologies. With more than two decades of training and care activity in my specialty, I have witnessed the advancement of these techniques and how they can improve surgical outcomes with a lower rate of complications in our patients.
Innovation in Minimally Invasive Surgery
The minimally invasive surgery employs advanced tools and techniques that allow surgical interventions to be performed with minimal invasion to the surrounding tissues, optimizing surgical precision and minimizing patient recovery time. In the context of neurosurgeryThese advantages are particularly significant, since they make it possible to pathologies of the spine, such as spinal canal stenosis and lumbosciatic pain such as spinal canal stenosis and lumbosciatic pain with superior results and less risk.
Debunking Myths: Age and Neurosurgical Surgery
One of the myths I wish to address is the perception that age limits suitability for minimally invasive surgical procedures.
In my experience, the decision to intervene surgically is based on a comprehensive assessment of the individual risks and needs of the patient, not on the patient’s age.. Contrary to common belief, these procedures do not discriminate by age; rather, they focus on maximizing the benefits for each individual. For older patients, these procedures can have a transformative impact by significantly improving quality of life, restoring lost function and relieving chronic pain that limits daily activity.
It is essential to understand that age is not an absolute impediment, but a factor to be considered along with other elements such as the general health of the patient and the severity of the neurological condition.
In conclusion, neurosurgery neurosurgery is undergoing an unprecedented transformation thanks to minimally invasive surgery. This evolution is strengthening our ability to offer personalized and effective solutions to our patients.
