Minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery

Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that consists of the use of high-frequency sound waves that make it possible to see tissue in real time. It is often used to diagnose pathologies in soft structures.

Due to its versatility, the capacity to emit live images and the absence of harmful effects, the ultrasound scanner is beginning to be used in musculoskeletal interventions, both percutaneous in the office and in ultra-minimally invasive surgeries.

Ultrasound assistance allows the surgeon to be guided within the anatomical structure without the need for large incisions, making minimally invasive procedures much more precise and less invasive. Thanks to this technological advance, it is now possible to perform surgical techniques that were previously inconceivable without an aggressive approach.

The advantages of ultrasound-assisted surgery are innumerable, including increased accuracy in identifying and localizing lesions, reduced blood loss and decreased recovery time. In addition, the use of ultrasound allows surgeons to adjust their technique in real time, increasing patient safety.

Our unit has more than 10 years of experience in ultrasound-assisted surgical techniques. Together with Dr. Guillermo Alvarez, we are pioneers in Malaga in a wide variety of ultrasound-assisted interventions in the locomotor system, from PRP or plasma infiltrations to ultrasound-assisted arthroscopic surgery and ultra-minimally invasive muscle and tendon surgery.
