Mr. Daniel Zhekov from Bulgaria, contacted our International Patient Services department with complaints such as lower back pain, intense pain, and numbness in the lower extremities lasting for a while. After Mr. Zhekov’s MRI evaluation, he was invited to our hospital for surgery.
Upon Mr. Zhekov’s arrival at our hospital, his case was taken over by our Neurosurgeon, Dr. Oguz Ozel. After a detailed physical examination and reevaluation of the MRI, a treatment for Lumbar Stenosis at L4-L5 with an Implant-Free Lumbar Decompression Microsurgery, without spinal stabilization system, was determined.
After a successful surgery, Mr. Zhekov was discharged on the second day post-surgery in good overall condition, free from pain and complaints. During his discharge, he expressed that it was the microsurgical approach why he sought treatment in our hospital; as previous healthcare institutions had predominantly recommended surgical interventions involving implants and stabilization systems.
We thank him for choosing us and wish our patient a life filled with health and happiness.
