Dr. Koura's Visit to Acibadem University in Istanbul: Exploring the Latest Interventional Pain Management Techniques

As part of his ongoing efforts to enhance pain management and provide the maximum benefit to patients, Dr. Mohamed Koura visited one of Istanbul’s most prestigious universities, Acibadem University. The purpose of the visit was to learn about the latest interventional pain management techniques for the spine and joints without the need for surgery.

 

The Importance of the Visit and Introduction to Acibadem University
Dr. Mohamed Koura chose Acibadem University due to its global reputation in the field of medical research, especially in pain management. The university is considered one of the leading centers for training doctors and employing the latest techniques in treating various diseases, including interventional pain management.

Focus on Interventional Pain Management Techniques for the Spine and Joints
Dr. Koura discussed with numerous expert doctors in the field of interventional pain management some of the latest solutions for common problems like spinal and joint pain. The discussions highlighted innovative techniques that do not require surgery, making them an ideal choice for patients suffering from chronic pain and seeking non-surgical alternatives.

New Injections for Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment
During the visit, Dr. Koura discussed the new injection for treating knee osteoarthritis, which is more advanced than the commonly used PRP injections. He emphasized the effectiveness of this treatment in reducing pain and improving mobility for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis. This injection is considered one of the most advanced generations of treatments and targets the mechanical and biological causes of knee osteoarthritis directly.

Regenerative Medicine and Its Role in Joint Pain Treatment
Dr. Koura addressed the topic of regenerative medicine and how it can be used to treat joint pain and osteoarthritis. He discussed the importance of regenerative treatments in enhancing the joints’ ability to heal damaged tissues and promote natural healing after osteoarthritis onset.

Dr. Mohamed Koura concluded his visit by expressing his desire to enhance collaboration with Acibadem University and other institutions to advance non-surgical treatment and develop interventional pain management techniques. He emphasized the importance of utilizing these modern techniques to improve patients' lives.

Are all cases treatable with non-surgical solutions?

Certainly not, some cases must be treated surgically, and the most appropriate technique for the patient is determined through a medical examination and the presence of imaging studies.
 

Someone attend without a reservation?

No, it is necessary to make a reservation through a phone call or social media messages.
 

Are there any risks associated with pain treatment?

There are no risks or side effects associated with non-surgical pain interventions.

How long is the required stay in Egypt for a non-surgical intervention? (for foreign patients)

The patient needs only 3 to 4 days before they can travel comfortably, and the hospital stay does not exceed 6 to 8 hours.

Can a condition be diagnosed without imaging or a medical examination?

A condition cannot be accurately assessed and a proper medical diagnosis made without a medical examination and recent imaging studies.
 

Can reservations and payments be made via Visa before attending?

Yes, there are several payment methods available through Visa or electronic wallets by making a reservation on our website.

Does obesity affect knee osteoarthritis?

Certainly, obesity is one of the causes of knee osteoarthritis.

Does radiofrequency cause nerve damage?

Radiofrequency activates the nerve and does not cause any damage to it.

Are non-surgical interventions a definitive treatment for spinal and joint diseases?

Non-surgical interventions are a definitive treatment for some cases and pain relievers for other cases, which is determined by the doctor through a medical examination.

Can a herniated disc reoccur after a medical procedure?

If the herniated disc is fully treated, there is a possibility of it reoccurring in some cases, such as not following the doctor's prescribed instructions after the intervention, experiencing an accident, or making a sudden wrong movement like lifting heavy objects.

Is the entire disc will be removed?

The entire disc is not removed due to the presence of several risks and it may exacerbate the condition. Only the protruding part that causes pain is removed.
 

Can radiofrequency remove a herniated disc?

This cannot be done with radiofrequency, but it is performed through other techniques that Dr. Koura conducts.

Can the success or failure of non-surgical intervention be judged by post-intervention radiographic imaging?

The success or failure of non-surgical interventions cannot be judged through radiographic imaging because these procedures involve making subtle changes to critical parts to address the issue. Consequently, they do not produce significant changes to avoid potential complications in the future or damage to the spine and joints, which is our primary goal.

Does spinal stenosis cause sciatica?

Spinal stenosis does not typically cause sciatica. In most cases, disc herniation is what may lead to sciatica. This does not necessarily mean that a patient with sciatica will also have spinal stenosis.

Does sciatica return after thermal ablation?

Sciatica may return if the patient does not adhere to the medical instructions provided by the doctor or in the event of an unexpected accident.
