An Arab medical achievement in treating "neck disc" A Saudi, Jordanian, Kuwaiti, and Emirati medical team has achieved a new medical milestone in the field of introducing the latest technology in the world to treat the neck disc by simple intervention for the first time in Jordan and the Arab region.
This achievement was announced during the scientific conference and the medical workshop for treating spinal pain and disc at the University of Science and Technology Hospital in Irbid, Northern Jordan. The medical team, in which the head of the pain management department at King Faisal bin Abdulaziz Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Jeddah, Dr. Osama Ahmed Al-Ahdal, and the consultant neurosurgery and spine Dr. Haitham Al-Aqili, have performed a surgery with this modern technology.
Simple overlap: Dr. Osama Al-Ahdal explained that the surgery was performed by making two small openings with an area not exceeding one centimeter, and then implanting a "keeper distance" from the back side, indicating that these operations were previously performed by implanting a "keeper distance" from the front of the neck It includes larger surgeries by passing sensitive tissues that may have major complications in the future, while the use of modern technology that began to be used during this conference reduces the risk to the lowest possible degree and spares patients the possibility of complications.
Al-Ahdal pointed out that the general trend in treating back and neck pain goes in the direction of treatment by using the simple intervention technique and avoiding major surgeries to reduce the time of patients'' stay in hospitals, which will positively affect the value of the treatment bill to reduce it and make room for the treatment of the largest number of patients, beneficial to the patients. After undergoing operations with this technology, they return to their normal lives in a record period, unlike what was previously the case.
