Medical Center Endoscopic neurosurgery

«Endoscopic Neurosurgery» of high trust

«Endoscopic Neurosurgery» in Dnipro is a consulting and diagnostic medical center, created in 1997 by the Honored Doctor of Ukraine, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor and Chief Neurosurgeon of the Dnipropetrovsk Region Nikolai Aleksandrovich Zorin.

The center specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of all kinds of diseases and injuries of the spine, intervertebral discs, oncology of all organs. This is the only neurosurgery center in Ukraine, where highly qualified specialists perform a full range of operations on the spine using modern low-traumatic treatment methods and premium professional equipment.

If you are faced with an illness or suspicion of an illness, the choice of a doctor who is not afraid to entrust your life becomes an important criterion and decisive factor, regardless of boundaries and distances.

Professor of neurosurgery Nikolai Zorin, head of the Endoscopic Neurosurgery Center, is recommended by the European Medical Association as a reliable provider of medical services. The doctor is enrolled in the official register of EMA and EBA Best Medical Practice.

The center is equipped with the necessary equipment that allows you to thoroughly accurately carry out the most complex operations on the spine, instantly identify bone pathology and diagnose organ oncology, diseases and injuries of the spine and brain. This is the Dornier Medilas Fibertom 4060 surgical laser device, Toshiba's own multi-slice spiral CT scanner.

The main task of the doctors of Endoscopic Neurosurgery is to help the patient in the most gentle way. This is possible with the use of modern low-traumatic methods of treatment, which are presented in the center.

For 20 years of work, more than 6,000 patients have been treated here and more than 15,000 have been examined.

Spine treatment

Back pain. The causes of discomfort and back pain can be a variety of factors - injuries, fractures, poor bone quality. The doctors of the center specialize in the treatment of osteoporosis, spondyloarthrosis, spinal fractures of any complexity.

Treatment of intervertebral discs and the whole range of surgical interventions on the spine. Radiography allows you to determine an accurate diagnosis.

The number of patients with the problem of intervertebral hernia is growing every year. If you experience persistent pain radiating to one or both legs, numbness or goosebumps in the thigh, lower leg, foot, notice muscle weakness, decreased or absent reflexes, consult a specialist. Doctors of the Endoscopic Neurosurgery Center recommend to undergo computed or magnetic resonance imaging from the very first days of the disease in order to establish the correct diagnosis and develop a treatment program. Often, conservative treatment of herniated discs does not give a positive result, while experienced neurosurgeons of the center are able to provide appropriate assistance.

Computed tomography at the Endoscopic Neurosurgery Center

Computed tomography (CT) is a highly effective method of three-dimensional diagnostics of all internal organs of a person: the brain, spine, skeletal bones, organs of the chest and abdominal cavity, heart and blood vessels.

The center conducts the following types of research:

• CT scan of the brain (consequences of traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke, brain tumors, cerebral aneurysm, severe headaches, etc.);
• SCT of the pituitary gland (persistent headaches, a sharp drop in vision, suspicion of a pituitary adenoma/tumors of the sella turcica, etc.);
• SCT of the spine (severe back pain, numbness of the limbs, trauma, headaches, etc.):
• SCT of joints (injuries, arthrosis and arthritis, joint pain, the presence of fluid in the joint cavity, etc.):
• SCT of the vessels of the brain/neck or in another way MR-angiography (aneurysms, cerebrovascular accidents, stenosis (narrowing) of the great vessels of the head, etc.);
• CT scan of the paranasal sinuses (sinus polyps/cysts, tumors in the nasal cavity, acute inflammation in the sinus, etc.).

A special fluoroscopic program allows the surgeon to penetrate any organ with a special instrument or needle, following its progress on the tomograph screen in real time. This completely eliminates unwanted damage to vital structures and ensures the accuracy of hitting a given target with an accuracy of 1 mm.

Already today, the specialists of the Center for Endoscopic Neurosurgery, the first in Ukraine, successfully perform bloodless puncture surgeries on the spine under the control of computed tomography. The radiation exposure during the study is so low that even infants and pregnant women can be safely examined. The examination speed is four times faster than with a conventional spiral tomograph and is only a matter of seconds. This is especially important for seriously ill patients and young children who cannot lie still for a long time. Since this research is completely safe, anyone who wants to know more about their health can resort to it.

The specialists of the tomograph, and, without exaggeration, the best doctors in our area work on it, will tell you which of the studies is more expedient to carry out. But, undoubtedly, the best result is achieved when the patient is referred by the attending physician, who precisely formulates the research task for computed tomography.

Modern low-traumatic methods of treatment

• Surgical methods for the treatment of intervertebral hernias
• Laser vaporization is a reduction in the volume of the affected disc as a result of the evaporation of liquid from it. The process of disc wrinkling begins right during the operation. Up to 30% of patients feel the fading of pain after its completion, and after 1.5-2 months you feel like an absolutely healthy person.
• Laser destruction of facet joints - changes in the joints of the spine caused by excessive physical exertion, a sedentary lifestyle, trauma or congenital anomalies of the spine.
• Paravertebral back pain blockade
• TESSYS is the latest invention in the field of neurosurgery, a highly effective delicate technique for removing herniated discs, which completely eliminates the risk of injury to the nerve roots.
• Microsurgical discectomy - removal of a herniated disc using an operating microscope. This method allows more accurate and less traumatic manipulation of the wound.
• Puncture vertebroplasty is a method of restoring the vertebrae using a puncture and the subsequent introduction of a special bone cement.
