The development of new technologies in medicine has led to revolutionary advances in the field of spinal surgery in recent years. For example, neuromonitoring equipment makes it possible to avoid risky movements during surgery, and this increases the success rate of surgical interventions. Microscopic surgeries with a high degree of precision are used. For example, in discopathy, when surgical intervention is required, the affected area is accessed through a 1 - 1.5 cm skin incision, working with a special microscope for better visualization. The microsurgical method is applicable to both single and multiple affected vertebrae. With it, the patient recovers significantly faster and the scarring is minimal.
Now patients from Bulgaria can take the opportunity for a free consultation with Dr. Zafer Orkun Toktash by making an appointment in advance at "Medical Karaj": 0895 770 869 or 0879 977 401. They will have to provide on the spot all medical documents and imaging tests available to date.
