Herniated disk treatment at Intrarat Hospital

Intrarat Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand offers endoscopic discectomy for herniated disc treatment. The procedure costs between $11,875 and $16,000 USD depending on the specific case. Dr. Chanon Panyangam, an orthopedic spine surgeon with 15 years of experience, performs the surgery using minimally invasive techniques.

The endoscopic discectomy uses a small 8-10mm incision to access the spine. A specialized endoscope allows the surgeon to remove the herniated disc material. This minimally invasive approach reduces tissue damage compared to traditional open surgery. The technique treats chronic back pain that radiates down the leg and hip. It also addresses numbness and weakness in the arms and legs caused by disc herniation.

Treatment Process

The program includes a consultation with Dr. Chanon Panyangam before surgery. He evaluates each patient's condition to determine the best surgical approach. The hospital stay lasts 3-5 days total. Patients spend 1 night in the ICU after surgery. They then recover in a regular ward for 3-4 nights.

Dr. Chanon Panyangam completed his medical degree at Chiang Mai University in 2010. He finished orthopedic surgery residency at Police General Hospital from 2013 to 2017. In 2018, he completed a spine surgery fellowship at Thammasat University. He has performed over 1,100 orthopedic procedures. He holds Thai Board certification in Orthopedic Surgery.
