Ailments
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MIS) has established itself as a revolutionary advancement in the field of neurosurgery. It is crucial to understand that MIS is a set of advanced techniques designed to achieve the same goals as traditional open surgery, but with the least possible impact on the patient's body. Unlike traditional open surgery, which requires extensive tissue dissection and complete exposure of the spine, the minimally invasive technique minimizes tissue damage. This is achieved by avoiding detaching the spinal muscles and performing the procedure through small incisions (often 1 to 2.5 cm) or ports.
Degenerative Diseases
Open spinal surgery, far from being a relic of the past, is positioned within the field of spinal neurosurgery as a sophisticated and irreplaceable surgical approach for managing the most complex pathologies. As a specialist, my duty is to use the precise tool for the required procedure, and in many critical situations, open surgery is the only way to guarantee safety and the best possible outcome for the patient.
Deformities
As a neurosurgeon specializing in spinal and intramedullary tumors, I believe the debate surrounding implants and stabilization in the context of surgical procedures is fundamental. Implants are not accessories; they are essential components of biomedical engineering that allow us to reconstruct, stabilize, and restore spinal function when the natural architecture has failed.
Trauma
Spinal tumor surgery represents the pinnacle of complexity and specialization within neurosurgery. As a neurosurgeon specializing in spinal and intramedullary tumors, my perspective is shaped by the understanding that these procedures require not only exceptional technical skill but also a rigorous multidisciplinary approach to ensure both oncological control and the maximum preservation of neurological function.
Tumors
Procedures for chronic pain are based on a detailed understanding of the anatomy of pain transmission, using precise image-guided interventions to target the structures that are generating the symptoms.
Infections
Dear patient, I am pleased to address the discussion on "Other Specialized Procedures" within the broad and complex spectrum of interventions in Spinal Neurosurgery. As a neurosurgeon specializing in Spinal and Intramedullary Tumors, my experience has taught me that these miscellaneous categories are not secondary; on the contrary, they represent the most critical and technically demanding solutions for unique situations, emergencies, and complications that do not fit into the standard classifications of degenerative or minimally invasive surgery.
The presence of these "Other Procedures" in my practice underscores a fundamental commitment: continuity of care and the ability to face any scenario, even when other specialists may consider a case too complex or without therapeutic options.

Other Conditions
If you are experiencing back pain, neurological symptoms, or have been diagnosed with a spinal condition that may require surgical treatment, I invite you to schedule a specialist consultation at my office.
During your evaluation:
- We will thoroughly review your medical history and imaging studies.
- I will perform a complete neurological examination.
- We will discuss all your treatment options, from conservative to surgical.
- If surgery is appropriate, I will explain in detail whether MIS or open surgery is more suitable for your particular case.
- I will answer all your questions with the time and attention your health deserves.
My commitment is to provide you with clear, honest, and evidence-based information so that you can make informed decisions about your health care.
