The X-STOP ® implant is a gentle, minimally invasive alternative to the existing operations at lumbar Spinalkanalstenose dar. The implant is the distance between the spinous processes aufgespreizt sentences and expanded. This also leads to an expansion in the vertebral canal and the nerves exit holes (Neuroforamen). The nerve roots narrow win again, while the back and leg pain sound rapidly.
How does the operation?
The X-STOP ® - spacers, depending on the extent of Spinalkanalstenose before and during the operation of different size is selected. The preservation of freedom of movement as well as taking a normal stance remains unaffected as a requirement.
Compared to bony decompression, ie the removal of the Shares of the vertebral arches, or even complete removal of the vertebral arches with removal of the spinous processes of the discharge of the affected spinal area, the X-STOP ® procedure several advantages. Thus, neither bone nor soft tissue removed. The minimally invasive surgery is performed quickly and therefore requires only one anesthesia. With co-morbidities of surgery is also performed under local anesthesia.
