Barcelona Spine Center - Medical Travel Hospital


Barcelona Spine Center

Barcelona, Spain

At Barcelona Spine Center we have over 15 years of experience in spinal surgery combined with innovative knowledge and extensive preparation enabling our specialists to come up with a precise diagnosis and offer the most appropriate and the least invasive treatment for each particular spinal problem.

Our neurosurgeons offer minimally invasive solutions (MIS) for back pain, providing safe and effective treatment for a wide range of painful and debilitating conditions of the spine with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue. This approach eliminates the need to cut muscles, which in traditionally performed operations is the main reason for post operative pain, infections and complications. MIS also results in a faster recovery and return to normal life.

The specialists at the Barcelona Spine Center keep up with the latest developments in the fields of Spine Surgery and Neurosurgery, and use state of the art facilities to deliver the best possible treatment. The team at the Center can arrange a complete range of medical services including all the necessary tests, MRI and CT scans, specialist’s consultation and, if needed, an operation within a very short time.

PROCEDURESPHYSICIANS
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.
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.
