A new height in medical treatment! Hunan Provincial People's Hospital successfully implemented spinal endoscopy OSE technology to treat cervical spondylosis

Recently, the Spine Surgery Department of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital was the first in our province to successfully implement spinal endoscopy OSE technology (open channel endoscopy technology) to treat cervical spondylosis, marking a new step for our province in the field of minimally invasive spinal treatment .

Cervical spondylosis is a common degenerative spinal disease. Traditional surgical treatment of cervical spondylosis often requires a large incision and extensive muscle stripping, which is traumatic and slow to recover. As an internationally leading minimally invasive technology, spinal endoscopy OSE technology only requires an incision less than 2 cm, using a high-definition endoscope system and precision conventional instruments to complete precise treatment of cervical lesions. This technology has the advantages of less trauma, less bleeding, faster recovery, and shorter hospitalization time, which greatly reduces the pain of patients.

The operation was led by Professor Shen Xiongjie's team from the Department of Spine Surgery at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital. One of the patients was a middle-aged woman who had been suffering from cervical spondylosis for a long time. The compression of the nerve roots caused numbness and pain in the left upper limb, which seriously affected her quality of life. After a detailed preoperative evaluation, Chief Physician Liu Xiangyang, Director of the Department, and Chief Physician Shen Xiongjie, Deputy Director of the Department, decided to use OSE technology to treat her.

The operation went smoothly. The patient's symptoms were significantly relieved after the operation. He was able to get out of bed and move around the next day, and the recovery effect was remarkable.

Surgeons Professor Shen Xiongjie and Associate Professor Chang Lei said: In the field of spinal surgery, cervical spine surgery has always been a difficult operation and can be likened to the "crown jewel". The minimally invasive endoscopic technology (OSE technology) is now applied to the treatment of cervical spondylosis, providing patients with cervical spondylosis with a new treatment option.

The successful implementation of OSE technology is not only another milestone for the Department of Spine Surgery of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, but also injects new impetus into the development of minimally invasive spinal technology in the province. In the future, the Department of Spine Surgery of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital will continue to leverage its technological advantages to promote the popularization and application of spinal endoscopic technology, further improve the level of diagnosis and treatment, and bring good news to more patients with spinal diseases with more sophisticated medical skills and better services.
