Leading the charge in spinal health advancements, Prof. Dr. Yunus Aydın offers exceptional medical expertise, ushering in a new phase of relief for back pain sufferers through his dedicated practice and vast experience in spinal surgeries.
Prof. Dr. Yunus Aydın has an impressive track record, with over 2800 aneurysm operations and more than 400 AVM treatments to his name, making him known for his tailored care approach, focusing on patient well-being and satisfaction throughout their therapeutic journey.
Aydın’s Spinal Surgery Innovation
The Aydın Spinal Technique, crafted by Prof. Dr. Yunus Aydın, is a significant step forward in spinal surgical methods, offering targeted treatments for spinal stenosis and spinal cord compression without the need for metallic fixtures, thus minimising tissue trauma. This encompasses outpatient procedures for disc herniations, non-intrusive options for cervical disc herniation, and effective measures for spinal canal stenosis arising from cervical calcification.
With a unilateral approach for bilateral decompression in spinal stenosis cases, Prof. Dr. Yunus Aydın has adeptly applied this method in more than 4,000 instances over two decades. “Our goal is to preserve the natural structure and mobility of the spine while providing more room to squeezed spinal nerves,” he articulates. Addressing the prevalence of spinal stenosis in the elderly, he critiques the widespread surgical preference for instrumented methods, which entail lengthy, invasive procedures, thus delaying recovery. He champions less invasive, shorter surgeries for older patients to lessen postoperative complications, underscoring the importance of immediate post-surgery mobility.
“By using a unilateral approach, on the symptomatic side, we can decompress the spinal canal stenosis and clean disc herniations effectively, minimizing the risk of ‘Adjacent Segment Disease’ and ensuring a faster return to normal life for our patients.” This approach is also viable for addressing multi-level stenosis through a singular incision without compromising the spine’s structural integrity.
Natural Portal Creation on the Spine’s Side
In the realm of spinal stenosis treatment, Prof. Dr. Yunus Aydın employs a novel technique that evades the pitfalls of traditional screw and rod systems. Although these conventional methods are effective for addressing traumatic fractures or spinal issues related to tumour growth, they can alter the spine’s natural biomechanics, potentially necessitating additional interventions.
Prof. Dr. Yunus Aydın’s methodology, backed by his rich experience from over 10,000 surgeries, entails creating a natural opening on one side of the spine for conducting necessary interventions without endangering spinal stability. This technique ensures the preservation of joint mobility and averts the onset of adjacent segment disease, with patients typically being discharged within a day of their spinal operation.
Rapid Recovery through Minimally Invasive Approaches
“The key to successful spinal surgery lies in respecting the integrity of the spine’s supporting structures,” Prof. Dr. Yunus Aydın underscores. By utilising sophisticated surgical instruments such as the high-speed drill and Kairison bone cutter, these surgeries can be executed in a manner that is less invasive, minimises blood loss, and maximises efficiency. Furthermore, by retaining the yellow ligament in microdiscectomy, the surgery minimises tissue damage, thus decreasing the likelihood of nerve adhesions and the risk of unsuccessful back surgery outcomes.
Patients who undergo these advanced spinal procedures can expect significantly reduced hospital stays, with many being discharged either on the day of or the day following surgery. The vast majority return to their daily activities within 15 days, demonstrating the minimal invasiveness of these surgical techniques.
