One of the most meaningful parts of my work is seeing patients regain their quality of life after spine surgery.

Ibu travelled from Indonesia with L4/5 nerve compression (saraf terjepit). She recently shared her recovery journey on TikTok in her own words.

With her kind permission, I am sharing her video here. She expressed gratitude not only about her surgical outcome, but also about her overall care experience.

She wrote: “Bolehh sekali dok.. biar menjadi berkat untuk orang lain.. 🙏🏻”
(“Yes doctor, please… so it may be a blessing for others.”)

I am truly grateful for her trust.

Every patient’s condition is unique, and treatment decisions are always made after careful assessment.

Wishing Ibu continued recovery and good health. 🙏

🇨🇭 A memorable experience in Zurich.

Honoured to have completed the EndoSpine Academy 2026 Advanced Course at Balgrist University Hospital, Switzerland.

16 SGNC CME points
(SGNC - Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie aka Swiss Society of Neurosurgery)

This unique program brought together 8 world-renowned masters in endoscopic spine surgery and only 12 selected participants from around the world, creating an exceptional environment for learning, discussion, and collaboration.

The cadaveric training, case discussions, and personal interactions with both faculty and fellow surgeons made this an invaluable experience.
Special thanks to Professor Mazda Farshad, Professor Luke Kim, Prof Dem, and the entire faculty for their generosity in sharing their knowledge and expertise.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn from the best, and excited to bring these insights back to benefit my patients and further advance endoscopic spine surgery in Malaysia.

Watching a young girl regain her ability to walk is something that never loses its impact.

She came to us from Indonesia, unable to walk due to a spinal tumor compressing her nerves. After surgery, step by step, she is now walking again.

This is not just a “miracle.”
This is what modern spine surgery can achieve—with precise imaging, advanced microsurgical techniques, and a dedicated team.

Grateful to be part of her journey.

For patients facing similar problems, there is hope.

1 tahun kelemahan kaki… hingga kursi roda dan terbaring.”

Seorang pasien muda mengalami kelemahan kedua kaki yang semakin memburuk selama 1 tahun.

Awalnya masih bisa berjalan.
Kemudian harus menggunakan kursi roda.
Akhirnya menjadi bed-bound.

Setelah berobat di negaranya, beliau datang dari negara tetangga untuk mendapatkan penanganan lebih lanjut.

Pemeriksaan menunjukkan penekanan saraf berat pada tulang belakang cervical

Dilakukan operasi buang tumor saraf menggunakan teknik mikroskopik untuk melepaskan saraf yang terjepit.

✨ Hari ke-2 pasca operasi:
Beliau sudah dapat mengangkat kedua kaki dengan kuat.

Pemulihan masih berjalan, namun perbaikan dini ini memberi harapan besar untuk kembali berjalan.

Penanganan yang tepat dan tepat waktu sangat menentukan hasil akhir.

This is a. Large L5/S1 disc herniation with a sequestered fragment.

In this case, a sizable disc fragment (approximately 3 cm) was compressing the nerve root.
Using an endoscope, the disc was removed through a small incision with minimal disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues.

The video shows:
• Pre-operative MRI findings
• Endoscopic removal of the disc fragment
• Retrieved disc specimen
• Small skin incision after the procedure

Endoscopic spine surgery allows targeted nerve decompression while preserving normal anatomy in appropriately selected patients.

📊 Did you know?

A landmark study published in JAMA Surgery (Epstein et al.) showed that surgeons suffer very high rates of neck, back, shoulder, and arm pain—comparable to, and in some aspects even higher than physically demanding occupations such as construction work.

Surgery may look “clean” and “controlled,” but the physical strain is real.
Long hours, static posture, repetitive movements, and operating with loupes, microscope and endoscope all take a toll on the surgeon’s body.

🩺 Caring for patients also means caring for the surgeon’s ergonomics and spine health.

📱 Handphone Habit, Neck Pain Later?

Many of us spend hours looking down at our phones without realising the impact on the cervical spine.

When the head is tilted forward 30–60 degrees, the weight on the neck increases from the normal 4–5 kg to as much as 25-30 kg — imagine carrying a small child on your neck every day.

A recent study on healthy adults shows that prolonged smartphone use can:
• Change cervical alignment
• Increase muscle strain
• Lead to chronic neck pain and headaches
• Accelerate wear-and-tear in the spine

Good news: Small adjustments can protect your spine:

✔ Bring the phone up, don’t bring your head down
✔ Take breaks every 20–30 minutes
✔ Strengthen deep neck flexors
✔ Mind your sitting posture at work and home

Neck pain is common, but it’s not “normal.”
If you or someone you know has persistent neck pain, numbness, or arm tingling — seek proper assessment early.

Your spine only has one job: support you through life.
Take care of it.

Many struggle with claudication, leg pain, cramp or numbness when walking — often caused by lumbar spinal stenosis.

At ThaiSMISST 2025, I had the chance to share one of the most important updates in EndoSpine surgery:
➡️ “Decompression Beyond En-Bloc Flavectomy” — a key technique for achieving a more complete and effective nerve release.

Today, we are able to do this through a tiny keyhole (EndoSpine / UBE) with:
✨ Minimal muscle damage
✨ Small 1 cm incisions
✨ Faster recovery
✨ Less pain
✨ Earlier return to daily activities

For patients who have been suffering for months or years, a proper and thorough decompression can truly change quality of life.

I’m sharing some photos and a short video from my talk —
If you know someone with back pain, leg pain, or difficulty walking, feel free to share this post.
Your share might help them find the right solution. 🙏💙

If you have questions about spinal stenosis or EndoSpine options, you’re welcome to message me anytime.
