Seamless access to high-end neurosurgical treatments in Florida
Neurosurgery combines advanced technologies, complex anatomical knowledge, and precision techniques to manage complex pathological conditions of the brain, spine, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and associated structures of the nervous system. It addresses multiple conditions that adversely impact neurological functions, cause pain, and pose life-threatening risks. Surgical options become necessary when non-surgical interventions fail to treat neurological disorders. Key neurosurgical procedures include spinal procedures, cranial procedures, peripheral nerve surgery, and endovascular procedures.
Florida Scoliosis Surgery
Frenkel Brain and Spine offers diverse kinds of spinal and other neurosurgical procedures to treat a number of conditions, including endoscopic spinal surgery, lateral lumbar interbody fusion, brain or spine tumor resection, motion preservation surgeries, and complex spinal deformity surgeries like Florida Scoliosis Surgery. The clinic is well-versed in the latest surgical and non-surgical treatment modalities to provide the best quality care and long-term results to its patients.
Endoscopic Spinal Surgery
Frenkel Brain and Spine has the expertise to perform endoscopic spinal surgery procedures to treat a number of conditions, including spinal stenosis, herniated disks, bone spurs or osteophytes, sciatica, degenerative disk disease, spondylolisthesis, spinal tumor or cyst, foraminal stenosis, and facet joint syndrome.
Endoscopic spinal surgery is a minimally invasive procedure involving a small camera and specialized instruments. This procedure requires tiny incisions which are less than one inch. An endoscope, a thin tube equipped with camera and a light source, is inserted into the affected area of the spine through the incision. It enables the neurosurgeon to visualize the spine’s internal structures on an HD monitor, while performing the surgical procedure with the help of specialized instruments. The endoscope and specialized instruments drastically improve the precision of complex spinal procedures.
Compared to conventional open surgery, endoscopic spinal surgery involves minimal tissue damage, reduced blood loss, and smaller scars. Consequently, the patients experience less post-operative pain and recover quickly.
Scoliosis Correction
Scoliosis is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spinal column. When viewed from back, the spine appears curved to the side in a “C” or “S” shape. It commonly occurs during the growth spurt prior to puberty, but can also occur in children and adults. Severity of scoliosis depends upon the curvature of the spine, which varies from mild to severe.
Frenkel Brain and Spine provides effective treatments for scoliosis, including Florida Scoliosis Surgery. Surgery is usually carried out when the spinal curvature is more than 40-50 degrees or quickly worsening. Spinal fusion surgery is the common surgical option to treat scoliosis. This procedure involves fusing the vertebral bodies with rods or screws to partially straighten the spine.
Bracing is the common treatment method for moderate scoliosis in growing children and adolescents. This treatment modality requires the patients to wear a brace for 16-23 hours daily.
Conclusion
Frenkel Brain and Spine’s neurosurgical care is focused on providing pain relief, improving functions, and improving the life quality of its patients. The patients get comprehensive support, right till complete recovery.
