The
National University Spine Institute (NUSI) team provides surgical and non-surgical treatment of all types of spine pathologies. These include:
- Degenerative lumbar spinal disorders, such as spinal stenosis, prolapsed disc, degenerate disc and spinal instability
- Complex cervical spine pathology, such as cervical myelopathy, radiculopathy and ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL)
- Spine fracture and spinal cord injury
- Spinal infections
- Primary and secondary tumours of the spine
- Complex spinal deformity with scoliosis deformities in children and adult
NUSI offers a comprehensive integrated plan of care for each patient. We rely on a multidisciplinary team approach ensuring that each patient receives a level of care that is consistent with his or her diagnosis. Spine surgeries performed in NUSI include:
- In-house intraoperative neuro monitoring team (IONM) to ensure surgery safety
- Minimally invasive spinal surgery, such as microscopy assisted, tubular and endoscopy
- Computer navigation for spine surgery
- Robotic spine surgery
- Artificial disc implantation
- Lumbar spinal fusion surgeries, such as transforaminal lumbar interbody spine fusion (TLIF), lateral lumbar interbody fusion) (LLIF)
- Cervical spinal surgeries, such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF), laminectomies and fusion or laminoplasty
- Complex spinal deformity correction in children and adult patients from cervical deformities to lumbar deformities
- Growing spine technologies for children scoliosis without spinal fusion, such as growing rods surgeries, Magec, Scoli-theter and Apifix spine surgeries
- Enbloc vertebrectomy surgery for spinal tumour
- Interspinous spacer technology for spinal decompression
- Vertebral augmentation using vertebroplasty / kyphoplasty
- Treatment of sports injuries of the spine
