  • The incidence of disc herniation is 5 to 20 cases per 1,000 adults annually. The male to female ratio is 2:1
  • Cervical disc herniation occurs in 8% of cases and most often develops at the C5-C6 and C6-C7 level
  • Lumbar disc herniation occurs 15 times more often than cervical disc herniation
  • At the lumbar level, in 95% of cases, these are L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc herniations
  • Symptomatic lumbar disc herniation occurs in 1% to 3%
  • 2% of the population requires surgery for intervertebral disc herniation

Clinical manifestations:

  • The clinical picture of a herniated disc is accompanied by neurological disorders caused by compression of nearby nerve structures (spinal cord, spinal root)

Diagnostics:

  • MRI of one or more parts of the spine
  • If it is impossible to perform MRI, CT or CT myelography may be performed

I would like to express my sincere and profound gratitude to the entire team: neurosurgeon Kirill Aleksandrovich Shaidurov, assistant Andronik Melikovich Demerchan, anesthesiologist Daria Aleksandrovna Postoyalko, and the entire medical staff at the K+31 clinic for the surgery to remove my herniated disc. Your exceptional professionalism was the key not only to my successful treatment but also to my return to a full, active, pain-free life. From the very first moment, it was clear that I was in the hands of true experts. Neurosurgeon Kirill Aleksandrovich Shaidurov not only explained the diagnostic results in detail and clearly, showing the whole picture in the images, but also listened attentively to my concerns and thoroughly described the planned procedure. This approach, combining deep knowledge and human compassion, immediately instilled confidence. The team's work during the surgery and postoperative period deserves the highest praise. The teamwork was flawless: from the anesthesiologist, who ensured my comfort and well-being, to the assisting staff. The quality of postoperative care was also outstanding—the staff was attentive and responsive, and the rehabilitation recommendations were clear and personalized. You are not just brilliant specialists; you are a team that gives people health and confidence in the future. Thank you for your invaluable work, skill, and professionalism.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to neurosurgeon Ilya Aleksandrovich, who helped me during the most difficult period of my life. I came to him with a tumor and in a wheelchair he prescribed treatment and gave professional recommendations! His high professionalism, deep knowledge and confidence in every word and action helped me cope with a difficult diagnosis and believe that even in the face of a tumor, you can maintain dignity, strength and hope. He is not only a master of his craft, but also knows how to listen, explain, support - in a human, warm, genuine way. This is a rare combination - the talent of a surgeon and a big heart. Each meeting with him restored my faith that I am not alone, that they will help me and that everything is possible. Thanks to his participation, the pain has become less, and life goes on. Thank him for the light, for the knowledge, for the human attitude and for the fact that he exists.
