- He suffered paralysis of the lower body in an accident.
- The second operation restored stability by mini -invasive removal of the damaged vertebra.
- The patient is able to move and has a chance of a full life.
Patient after a serious motorcycle accident underwent At the Neurosurgical Clinic of the Slovak Medical University and the University Hospital Bratislava (UNB) At the Ružinov Hospital in Bratislava, a unique two -phase spine intervention. TASR informed UNB spokeswoman Eva Kliská.
A biker driving at a high speed, approximately 200 kilometers per hour, suffered a serious fracture of the first vertebral vertebra with oppression of the nerve structures on the racing circuit, after which he was paralyzed from the waist down. “In the first phase, we proceeded to fix the spine using a titanium structure to stabilize a complex fracture and released compressed nerve structures by decompression”Said the leading operator Peter Hudák. Kliská added that after the first operation, signs of improving the function of the lower limbs began to appear.
Positive development has allowed neurosurgeons to continue treatment with modern procedures. As Hudák explained, in the second step they carried out a mini -invasive procedure in which they removed the damaged vertebra and restored the stability of the spine. “This approach is more gentle for the patient, allows faster convalescence and minimizes postoperative complications. At the same time, it allows the patient to be safe and early rehabilitation, ”he said.
Kliská explained that the patient is currently undergoing rehabilitation and his neurological functions continue to improve. “He is able to move without help and, thanks to the rapid intervention and coordinated work of health professionals across expertise, the patient receives a chance of a full life even after a serious injury,“She closed Kliská.
