Surgery

Neurosurgery and spine surgery — from minimally invasive to complex craniotomy at Alimran Medical Center in Basra.

A selective dorsal rhizotomy(SDR)

Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a neurosurgical procedure that selectively cuts problem nerve roots in the spinal cord to reduce spasticity.

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)

ACDF removes a damaged neck disc through the front of the neck to relieve spinal cord or nerve pressure, then fuses the level for stability.

Artificial Disc Replacement (Arthroplasty)

Artificial disc replacement (arthroplasty) swaps a damaged cervical disc for an artificial one that preserves neck motion. Who it suits and how it's done.

Burr Holes and Craniotomy

Burr holes and craniotomy open the skull to treat blood clots, brain tumours and skull defects, or drain blood through small holes.

Deep brain stimulation

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) places electrodes in the brain, linked to a pacemaker-like device, to regulate abnormal signals in movement disorders.

Endoscopic spine surgery

Full-endoscopic spine surgery treats disc herniation, spinal stenosis and facet joint syndrome through small ports with high-resolution imaging.

Endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal surgery

Endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal surgery removes pituitary tumours through the nose, avoiding opening the skull.

Lumbar Microdiscectomy

Lumbar microdiscectomy removes a herniated disc pressing on a lumbar nerve root through a small incision, using an operating microscope.

Lumbar Spinal Fusion Surgery

A spinal fusion surgery is designed to stop the motion at a painful vertebral segment, which in turn should decrease

Spinal Decompression

Discectomy It can mean removal of a disc protrusion or extrusion which is pressing on a nerve root. Hence it

Stereotactic radiosurgery

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) uses many precisely focused radiation beams to treat tumors and other problems in the brain, neck, lungs,

Vertebroplasty

Vertebroplasty injects bone cement into cracked vertebrae to stabilise compression fractures, relieve severe pain and restore mobility.
