RIPAS Hospital was once again host to an international meet, when a world renowned Neurosurgeon from France Prof Jean Destandau was invited to Brunei Darussalam to demonstrate 'live' the most recent advancement in treatment of Lumbar Disc Prolapse (Backpain) to 20 surgeons from Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India and the UAE.
Present to watch for the 1st time in Brunei Live Surgery telecasted from the Main Operating Theatre at RIPAS to the Lecture Hall was the Honourable Minister of Health Pehin Orang Kaya Indera Pahlawan Dato Seri Setia Hj Suyoi who also earlier officiated the endoscopic workshop.

The patient being prepared for surgeryOver 2 days Prof Jean Destandau performed live surgery on 4 Bruneian patients who had been troubled with backpain for several years and found to have a Lumbar Disc Problem. The 2 days workshop was held at RIPAS 2nd Floor Lecture Hall and the visual was telecast from the Operating Theatre. Prof Jean Destandau has been using this special technique which he innovated to correct disc herniation since 1993 and since then has operated over 5000 patients worldwide with back problems. The advantage of his technique over the traditional 'open' procedure is reduction in hospital stay to just 2-3 nights, reduction in infection rate and improved visual capability.
It was impressive to watch Prof Destandau in action, live as he smoothly carved his way through the lamina (cartilage at the spine) and release the bulging contents of the Lumbar spinal canal. It was very much a different story when the rest of the participating surgeons was given the oppurtunity to try this technique on dummies the next day... hmmm.. let's just say some will take a lot more practice before they should be doing it on real people... However there were others who were quite keen already to try on this technique on their patients back home.
