DYNAMICS OF TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH OSTEOCHONDROSIS AND HERNIA OF THE INTERVERTEBRAL DISCS PATENTED METHOD OF KOSS

Abstract

Treatment of hernia by the method of Dr. Koss is used in cases where conventional physiotherapy exercises are already late and therefore ineffec- tive and surgery is inevitable. This can sometimes be the consequence of the rupture of the fibrous ring, when self healing is unrealistic.After the classical surgical operation, the disc herniation is formed in adjacent vertebral segments, where previously there were disc protrusion. The true relapse after removal of the disc intervertebral herniation is considered to be the recurrence of herniation at the same level that there are more than 80% of cases from the total number of operations. The reason for the recurrence of hernia is the inability to completely remove the entire affected disc. The contin- ued load on the resected disc leads to degeneration of the remaining non-removed parts of the disc and the re-more significant loss of the pulpous nucleus in the spinal canal. For example, if the intervertebral hernia before surgery at the lumbar level was 8-9 mm in size, then the recurrence of the hernia due to a postoperative defect of the fibrous ring will be more impressive in size and most often with the formation of a sequestered hernia.In other words, a possible relapse can only be due to surgery, but if you consider the treatment in the way of Dr. Koss, when all manipulations are only minimally invasive treatment, the risk of a “true relapse” is extremely unlikely.
