Spinal fusion surgery is suitable for patients with spine-related diseases such as lumbar spondylolisthesis, disc herniation, etc.

Since its establishment in 2007, the Centre has been committed to alleviating the pain and restoring the quality of life of patients with spinal diseases by upholding the core values of "Safety, Teamwork, Innovation and Empathy". Since 2022, the center has started to use the advanced Hybrid Operating Room (OR) combined with 3D navigation imaging technology and high-precision equipment to perform minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery, achieving an accuracy of 99.9%. This technology has achieved remarkable results especially in the correction of long scoliosis and minimally invasive long-segments lumbar fusion surgery, which not only greatly reduces the risk of surgery and recovery time, but also enables patients to get out of bed the next day, be discharged from the hospital within a week, and return to work or study within one month. The center also integrates interdisciplinary care such as nutrition, rehabilitation, and anesthesia, and provides a one-stop high-quality medical experience from preoperative preparation to postoperative rehabilitation through the accelerated recovery process after ERAS, reshaping the image of traditional spine surgery, and bringing new hope of safety and peace of mind to patients.
