Symptoms and treatment of the cervical and lumbar spine Demonstration of an operation on a model Speakers: Dr. Christian Brinkmann, Chief Physician of the Clinic for Spinal Surgery Dr. Matthias Boschin, Chief Physician of the Clinic for Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine Lecture with demonstration of an operation on a model Content of the lecture: Spinal surgery and anesthesia in old age The decision to undergo spinal surgery needs to be carefully considered. Older patients are more likely to suffer from wear and tear as a result of their age, such as a narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis), and possibly also instability and curvature of the spine. They are also concerned with the question of how well their organism copes with the procedure and the strain of general anesthesia. In principle, back surgery can also be performed in old age. The crucial thing is that the treatment path, from surgical planning through the operation to aftercare, is tailored to the individual situation of the patient. At the Patient Academy, the chief physicians Dr. Christian Brinkmann (Clinic for Spinal Surgery) and Dr. Matthias Boschin (Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine) explains how an individual risk profile is created and how the extent and duration of the procedure are tailored to the patient's situation in order to keep the strain on the organism as low as possible. Previous illnesses (e.g. cardiovascular diseases) or the long-term use of medication such as blood thinners, blood pressure lowering drugs, etc. are also addressed. In addition to these aspects, Dr. Brinkmann also addresses wear-related changes and diseases of the spine and demonstrates a spinal operation using a model.
