Surgery for spinal canal stenosis

Spinal stenosis surgery in Kyiv

A loyalty program is available for surgical interventions in the hospital, which makes treatment even more affordable.

At «Oxford Medical», spinal canal decompression for stenosis is performed using an innovative minimally invasive technique. Instead of incisions, only two punctures with a diameter of 7 mm are made, through which endoscopic instruments are inserted.

This approach avoids traumatizing the soft tissues and bone structures of the spine. The patient can return to their normal lifestyle the next day after the operation.

The advantages of endoscopic treatment of spinal stenosis are:

  • minimally invasive;

  • high efficiency and safety of the operation;

  • hospitalization period of only 1 day;

  • short and easy rehabilitation period.

The operation is performed by a spinal surgeon with many years of experience who has been trained in Germany and other countries. The clinic has new expert-class equipment installed, which allows the specialist to perform all manipulations with maximum accuracy.

If you are concerned about symptoms of spinal stenosis such as constant back pain, weakness in the legs and arms, difficulty walking, and urinary incontinence, make an appointment with a spinal surgeon at «Oxford Medical». After the diagnosis, the doctor will draw up an optimal treatment plan for you.

Symptoms of spinal stenosis

Stenosis - is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which results in compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots. Gradually, this leads to degenerative-dystrophic changes in the spine. Without treatment, the disease progresses and can lead to disability. Symptoms of stenosis can gradually progress, so when the disease is detected, treatment should not be postponed.

Symptoms of stenosis may differ depending on the location of the narrowing:

Symptoms of cervical spinal stenosis (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7)

  • discomfort and pain in the neck;

  • numbness and tingling in the hands, less often in the shoulders;

  • weakness in the hands;

  • unsteadiness when walking.

Stenosis in the sacral (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) and coccygeal (Co1, Co2, Co3, Co4, Co5) regions of the spine is quite rare and has similar symptoms to stenosis in the lumbar region.

Symptoms of thoracic spinal stenosis (Th1–Th12)

  • chest or back pain (may spread along the ribs);

  • numbness and tingling in the chest and abdomen;

  • weakness in the legs.

Symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5)

The lumbar spine consists of five vertebrae (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5). Stenosis most often develops in this area.

Symptoms of absolute lumbar stenosis may include:

  • low back pain – often worse when walking or standing;

  • radiation of pain into the legs;

  • numbness and tingling in the legs and feet;

  • weakness in the legs – may cause difficulty walking or climbing stairs;

  • incontinence or difficulty urinating and defecating.

Diagnosis of the disease and preparation for surgery

Before prescribing surgical treatment, the patient undergoes a comprehensive examination to confirm the presence of indications and exclude contraindications.

Diagnostics may include:

  • X-ray;

  • Computed tomography;

  • Magnetic resonance imaging and other studies as indicated

Immediately before the operation, tests and an electrocardiogram (ECG) should be taken. In the case of general anesthesia, a preliminary consultation with an anesthesiologist is also recommended.

When is surgical treatment prescribed?

Indications for surgical treatment of spinal stenosis are:

pronounced neurological symptoms (weakness in the limbs, numbness, impaired coordination of movements, incontinence)

ineffectiveness of conservative treatment

constant pain that gets worse

Endoscopic decompression of the spinal canal: how the treatment is performed at Oxford Medical

At «Oxford Medical» the operation is performed using an endoscopic method, which involves minimal invasiveness. Instead of incisions, only 2 punctures with a diameter of 7 mm are made. Thanks to this, the soft tissues and bone structures of the spine are practically not injured. The patient can leave the clinic the next day and return to his usual lifestyle, without significant restrictions.

This operation is called unilateral biportal endoscopic decompression of the spinal canal. Its purpose is to relieve pressure from the spinal cord and nerve roots, which eliminates the symptoms of the disease and the risks associated with the progression of stenosis.

The operation is performed by an experienced spinal surgeon using new high-tech equipment.

 

The main stages of endoscopic decompression of the spinal canal:

Anesthesia

General anesthesia or local anesthesia is used depending on the patient's health condition and other individual characteristics.

Providing access to the affected area

The surgeon makes two punctures with a diameter of 7 mm. Through one of them, he inserts an endoscope, and through the other, microsurgical instruments.

Overview of the operating area

The endoscope is equipped with a miniature video camera, the image from which is transmitted to the monitor screen with multiple magnification. This allows the surgeon to conduct a thorough examination of the affected structures and perform all manipulations with maximum precision.

Expansion of the spinal canal

Using a high-speed drill and other surgical instruments, the surgeon removes bone growths and other tissue, freeing the nerve roots and spinal cord from compression.

Completion of the operation

After performing decompression, the surgeon performs a control examination, removes the endoscope and surgical instruments, places small stitches at the incision sites, and closes them with a sterile bandage (plaster).

Rehabilitation after endoscopic spinal canal decompression

With endoscopic surgery, there is minimal damage to the soft tissues and bone structures of the spine. Thanks to this, the rehabilitation period is quite quick and easy. Usually, the patient is allowed to get up a few hours after the operation, and leave the clinic the next day.

For several weeks, it is recommended to:

  • avoid lifting weights (more than 3 kg);

  • exclude heavy physical exertion;

  • follow all medical recommendations (drug therapy, physiotherapy, lifestyle correction, etc. may be prescribed).

Potential complications

Unilateral biportal endoscopic spinal canal decompression is a relatively safe procedure, however, like any surgical operation, it is associated with certain risks.

Potential complications include:

  • infection of the surgical wound;

  • bleeding;

  • damage to the nerve roots or spinal cord;

  • deep vein thrombosis;

  • recurrence of stenosis;

  • formation of adhesions and scar tissue.

At «Oxford Medical» The operation is performed by experienced spinal surgeons. They use high-precision equipment, which allows them to perform all manipulations with maximum accuracy. Complications during such endoscopic operations occur in only a few percent of patients. In «Oxford Medical» all conditions have been created to provide assistance to patients in the development of acute conditions, including intensive care units equipped with equipment to monitor and support vital body functions.

Щиро дякую хірургу Фроловій Єлені Юріївні за суперово виконану операцію. Втручання було невелике, але для мене дуже важливе — і все пройшло швидко, акуратно та без ускладнень. Лікар уважна, спокіна, усе пояснив перед процедурою, так як я боялась- вона мене підтримувала та відволікала)) Загоєння проходило добре, шви зняла безболісно, результатом повністю задоволена. Дуже приємно мати справу з таким відповідальним і людяним спеціалістом. Рекомендую від щирого серця.

Хочу висловити подяку Мудрієвському Богдану Любомировичу. Моєму батьку було зроблено ургентно (15.12.2025) операцію по видаленню жовчного міхура. Поки я їхала в лікарню лікар і медперсонал підготували тата до операції. Велика подяка Богдану Любомировичу за Професіоналізм, за чітке пояснення і відповіді на всі питання. Цей лікар не тільки Професіонал своєї справи з великої літери, це ще і чудова людина!!! Бажаємо Богдану Любомировичу міцного здоров'я і завжди залишатися такою ж чудовою та розуміючою людиною
