Minimally Invasive Spinal Treatment Clinic (MISTC)
The advanced spinal surgical technique developed by Wooridul Hospital is bloodless and minimally invasive to save normal disc tissue. Short term admission, small incision, minimal scars, and reduced complications, this is what we are doing for patients
Step-by-Step spine treatment considering patient conditions
We do not think surgery is always the best way to treat patients, so we consider the patient conditions first, and then provide step-by-step treatments for saving normal disc tissue and other adjacent structures.
| Stage 1 | Conservative Therapy & Spinal Injection - Medicine, Physiotherapy, Prolotherapy, Image guided spinal nerve block |

Advantages of Percutaneous Endoscopic Surgery
Under the local anesthesia, the elderly patients or even the diabetes patients could tolerable the procedure. Cosmetic effects since it is minimally invasive spinal surgery. It preserves vertebrae and normal nucleus pulposus and removes only the lesional site so that there is no risk of evoking the neural adhesion. Bloodless surgery, no transfusion is required. It saves the time and the costs. 75% of the patients discharged on the same. Due to rapid recovery, comparing to open surgeries, it is recommendable for the workers or students with the desire of early return-to-work.
The 5th Digital Spine Operation
Using advance high-tech digital equipments such as MRI, CT, O-arm, C-arm, Navigation system with Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery (MISS), which will enables us in preserving normal tissue, easily differentiating regions. It will automatically increasing success rate of procedures, providing safety and accuracy of the treatment.
Benefits of the 5th Digital Spine Operations
- Bloodless spinal surgery
- Less damage/ preservation of normal structures
- Early discharge and rapid recovery to normal activities
- Maximizing success rate of procedures
- Minimizing revision and complication case
