3.Intervertebral Disc Prosthesis Implantation

Replacement of a damaged disc with a prosthesis to restore the normal anatomy of the spine.

4.Spinal Fusion (Spondylodesis)

Fusion of two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine in cases of severe damage or instability.

5.Minimally Invasive Techniques
