Successfully Treated Clinical Cases by Dr. Yasser Ghoraba 🏆

Real-world examples of complex conditions treated using microscopic techniques and advanced fixation

💡 Advantages of Self-Anchoring Cervical Cages

Eliminates the need for a neck collar post-surgery, allowing patients to resume work immediately after suture removal (one week post-operation).

1. Excision of Cervical Disc & Bone Spur via Precision Microsurgery (Self-Anchoring Cage)

A male in his 40s presented with severe upper right limb pain and arm muscle weakness. MRI revealed disc herniation and large bone osteophytes at C5-C6 and C6-C7 compressing the nerves. Microscopic surgery was performed to resect the discs and bone spurs, widen the neural foramina, and insert two carbon cervical self-anchoring cages secured with titanium screws. Muscle strength recovered rapidly with immediate relief from pain and numbness, enabling a return to normal life the following day.

2. Microscopic Excision of Cervical Disc Herniation & Bone Spur

A 35-year-old male suffered from severe left upper limb pain, arm weakness, and loss of left hand grip strength. MRI confirmed a herniated disc and osteophyte at C5-C6 compressing the C6 nerve root. The disc and spur were excised microscopically, the nerve canal was decompressed, and a carbon cage was inserted. Muscle strength improved, and pain and numbness vanished instantly.

3. Decompression of Severe Lumbar Spinal Canal Stenosis via Precision Microsurgery

A 77-year-old patient suffered from extreme difficulty walking, lower limb numbness, stooped posture, urinary hesitation, and chronic constipation. Evaluation showed severe lumbar spinal stenosis. Microscopic decompression of the canal was carried out, resulting in enhanced muscle power, resolution of numbness and stooped posture, improved excretory function, and full restoration of normal gait.

4. Fixation of L4 Comminuted Burst Fracture with Spinal Canal Decompression

A young man in his 30s survived a motor vehicle collision resulting in a comminuted fracture of the L4 vertebra, causing urinary retention, bilateral foot drop, severe pain, and immobility. Urgent microscopic decompression of the spinal canal and nerve roots was performed, along with pedicle screw and plate instrumentation. Symptoms, motor power, and sphincter control normalized within two weeks, and he resumed work after 3 months.

5. Microscopic Decompression of Severe Cervical Spinal Stenosis

A woman in her 70s experienced marked quadriparesis, arm numbness, and gait impairment. MRI revealed critical cervical spinal stenosis causing spinal cord ischemia and cord contusion. Microscopic decompressive surgery expanded the spinal canal and restored local cord perfusion, successfully allowing the patient to walk independently again.

6. Microscopic Excision of Recurrent Lumbar Disc with Spinal Stabilization

A young male presented with severe lower back and right leg pain along with right foot drop secondary to a large recurrent disc herniation at L3-L4. Microscopic discectomy and nerve root decompression were completed, accompanied by pedicle screw fusion to ensure spinal stability and rapid post-operative recovery.

7. Resection of Benign Tumor on Right L5 Facet Joint & Spinal Fusion

A rare clinical case of a female patient presenting with significant enlargement and deformity of the right L5 facet joint, causing severe nerve compression and partial foot drop. Resection of the enlarged facet bone, nerve decompression, and spinal stabilization were executed. Histopathology confirmed a benign osteoma, fully resected, permitting the patient to return to normal active life.

8. Resection of Ruptured Traumatic Cervical Discs (Fall Trauma)

A challenging case involving a patient who fell from a trailer height, sustaining severe arm weakness, tetraparesis, spinal cord contusion, and two extruded cervical discs (C4-C5 & C6-C7). Emergency microscopic discectomy and cage reconstruction decompressed the cord and improved perfusion. Hand function and ambulation were restored, and he was safely discharged after 24 hours.

9. Paravertebral Abscess Drainage, Debridement & Fixation for Vertebral Infection

A 70-year-old male presented with purulent spondylodiscitis at T12-L1 with a large muscular paraspinal abscess. The surgical team decompressed the neural canal, placed 6 titanium screws and 2 rods for stability, and thoroughly evacuated the abscess. Symptoms resolved rapidly, allowing hospital discharge on post-op day 2.
