— Plasma Radiofrequency Myeloplasty
The application of plasma technology in the field of surgery is a technological revolution. It produces plasma layer in front of the electric head through high-frequency electric field, the working temperature is lower than 70 degrees Celsius, the depth of thermal damage is only 0.1 mm, and it has unique vaporization and crumpling function to the tissue, which has a wide application prospect in the treatment of degenerative disc diseases.

The Department of Orthopedics at Xuanwu Hospital uses step therapy for degenerative spine diseases, giving minimally invasive treatment to those patients who are not suitable for conventional open surgery, resulting in effective treatment methods for a large number of patients. We use the most advanced plasma radiofrequency system of its kind from Jesse Corporation in the United States to perform myeloplasty on degenerative disc-induced disorders, which, together with the newly introduced C-arm machine worth 3.2 million yuan in our department, ensures safe and effective surgery for patients. It can safely crumple the nucleus pulposus, reduce the pressure of the disc in real time, and effectively release the pressure of the protruding nucleus pulposus on the surrounding important tissues and structures, without damaging the surrounding important tissues such as spinal cord, nerve roots and large blood vessels, and the patient can be discharged from the hospital the next day.
