- Cervical Discectomy
- The Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy (PECD) is for patients with symptoms of neuralgia by the compression of the shoulder and arm due to the herniation of the disc nucleus from a ruptured annular fiber. Unlike conventional surgery which requires skin incisions and the removal of the whole disc, the procedure preserves most of the disc tissue to minimize complications.
- Endovascular Neurosurgery
- Instituto FLENI's Endovascular Neurosurgery and Interventional Radiology Team (ENERI) Section is responsible for the treatment of patients with aneurysms, cerebral malformations and cerebrovascular conditions. Since ENERI was created, its objective has been to provide leading edge, emerging clinical applications of technology. In line with this objective, ENERI has recently introduced the Three Dimensional Biplanar Digital Philips Allura Angiograph, unique of its kind in Latin America, that provides top imaging definition and allows for accurate diagnosis and treatment. This unit provides unprecedented information by integrating images obtained in rotational angiographies and delivering three dimensional views that rotate to reveal useful anatomical details in critical vascular areas.
- Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery
- Stereotactic radiosurgery uses small radiation doses directed at a specific area of the brain in order to treat lesions located in cerebral areas where surgical access is difficult or impossible. Stereotactic surgical biopsies can also allow diagnosis of deep cerebral lesions. The clinical applications of the Leksell Gamma Knife continue to grow. Liiterature indicates that the success rate in metastatic tumors reaches 90% and the total obliteration rate in arteriovenous malformations is approximately 80%. The excellent results and low morbility reported have made Gamma Knife the first therapy option for a growing number of patients.
- Lumbar Discectomy
- Lumbar discectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part of a problem disc in the low back. The discs are the pads that separate the vertebrae. This procedure is commonly used when a herniated, or ruptured, disc in the low back is putting pressure on a nerve root. The main goal of discectomy surgery is to remove the part of the disc that is putting pressure on a spinal nerve root. Taking out the injured portion of the disc also reduces chances that the disc will herniate again.
- Spinal Fusion Lumbar and Cervical
- A spinal fusion surgery is designed to stop the motion at a painful vertebral segment, which in turn should decrease pain generated from the joint. There are many approaches to lumbar spinal fusion surgery, and all involve adding bone graft to an area of the spine to set up a biological response that causes the bone graft to grow between the two vertebral elements and create a fusion, thereby stopping the motion at that segment.
- Total Disc Replacement
- Artificial disc replacement offers a reversible, viable alternative to fusion that possibly avoids the accepted shortcomings of fusion. By inserting an artificial disc instead of performing spinal fusion, there is the possibility of reducing damage to nearby discs and joints. This is because artificial disc replacement allows for motion preservation, near normal distribution of stress along the spine and restoration of pre-degenerative disc height.
Package Pricing includes:

- Vascular Surgery
- Vascular surgery involves diagnosing, treating and preventing diseases of the circulatory system (arteries, veins and lymphatics) system. Most often, the diseases are altherosclerosis – narrowing of the arteries, or thrombophlebitis – swelling of the veins caused by a blood clot. Surgeries include Aortic Aneurysm Repair, Carotid Endarterectomy, Vascular Access, Peripheral Vascular, and Endoluminal Treatment.
