Mr. J.G.R., 74 years old, contacted us trough our partners Croatian Medical Tourism and Mr. Marinov only 2 months ago. Patient was seeking for less invasive treatment of his low-back pain syndrome caused by severe degeneration of his spine at levels from L1-S1. Mentioned degeneration can be noted at bellow X-Ray and MRI images:
With extensive consultation with spinal neurosurgeon Robert Saftic MD and patient coordinator, Mr. J.G.R. has decided to come to Croatia for minimally-invasive treatment called dorsal endoscopic rhizotomy, pioneered and invented by Anthony Yeung from USA.
Patient has arrived to Croatia on 1st January 2012 with his wife. Our patient coordinator has spent time with the patient and his wife, guided them trough Zagreb and helped them in preparation for the surgery. Surgery was scheduled for 3rd January 2012 in our well known Vertebris International Spine Hospital.
Fingers crossed for good recovery and successful final outcome after recovery period!
10 days follow-up letter from Mr. J.G.R.

Many thanks to all the team”
