During microsurgery, we use full anaesthesia, a special surgery microscope and corresponding fine instruments. Due to these we only need a small skin access. The use of the microscope makes a precise and very safe operation possible. Rehabilitation means are discussed with our physiotherapist and can be started one week after microsurgery.

Advantages of microsurgery in cervical or lumbar spine

Another microsurgical procedure is the so-called decompression / microlaminectomy.
