Dr. Jürgen, a cardiologist from Bulgaria, came to Istanbul seeking specialized care for two spinal conditions affecting his thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. He had previously undergone two unsuccessful surgeries in Bulgaria, which left him unable to practice medicine for several years due to persistent pain and neurological symptoms.
After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Kamran Aghayev recommended two surgical interventions to address the underlying issues. The first procedure focused on the lumbar vertebrae and successfully resolved symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling. Encouraged by the results, Dr. Jürgen proceeded with the second surgery targeting the thoracic vertebrae one month later, which also delivered exceptional outcomes.
Following both procedures, Dr. Jürgen returned to Bulgaria in excellent health, free from symptoms and able to resume his professional and personal life.
Spinal conditions involving the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae can cause debilitating pain, numbness, and other neurological symptoms due to nerve compression or instability. These conditions often require surgical intervention when conservative treatments fail. Common conditions affecting these regions include herniated discs, compression fractures, and spinal deformities like kyphosis, which can significantly impact daily activities and overall well-being. Timely intervention can halt the progression of disease, reduce the risk of chronic pain and disability, and enhance treatment options.
Spinal surgery for thoracic and lumbar conditions often involves relieving nerve compression, stabilizing the affected vertebrae, and addressing structural issues. These procedures aim to restore mobility, alleviate pain, and improve quality of life. Surgical techniques may include discectomy to remove herniated discs, laminectomy to relieve pressure on the spinal canal, and fusion procedures to stabilize the spine and prevent further instability. Recent advancements in spinal surgery have significantly improved recovery times and long-term success rates.
