Dr. Davidovich is the first and to date the only surgeon to conclude a full training program of three years under direct guidance of the world-renown Professor and head of the Jho Institute for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, today known as the Department of Neuroendoscopy, Dr. Hae-Dong Jho.

During his three year work in the Department of Neuroendoscopy, Dr. Davidovich performed countless endoscopic surgeries of the spine and brain. who came to the Department of Neuroendoscopy in order to receive these minimally invasive procedures.

These procedures were developed by Dr. Hae-Dong Jho for two decades and are still today, unique for the whole world. Thousands of patients from all over the world were treated with these techniques with very high success rate.

It is well known that brain retraction during the surgery has short term and long term sequences:

• For the short term, recovery from the surgery and hospital stay takes longer.
• For long term, brain damage may occur with psycho-social and cognitive changes.

With minimally invasive endoscopic surgery we are avoiding brain retraction and insertion of the endoscope requires smaller opening and less brain retraction when compared with the conventional surgery.

In minimally invasive brain surgery we intend reaching the pathology (exp. tumor) through natural openings, like a nostril or small incisions with minimal or no brain retraction.

Visualization and though defining the pathology from the normal tissue is easier and makes surgery safer.

The advance of technology allows us today to perform the surgery with the endoscope, which is like a small camera that looks at the pathology. The endoscope has a light source and is connected to a monitor. The surgery is performed while looking at the screen and actual target size is magnified more than a 100 times.

This approach parallels the advance from open abdominal surgery to laparoscopic surgery. The purpose is to get to the target pathology or problem while minimizing the trauma to the surrounding tissues. Thanks to this surgical precision success rate is very high.

Thanks to this advanced technology, the skin incision is small; surgery takes less time, resulting in a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery.

Dr. Shlomo Davidovich heads the minimally invasive Department of Neuroendoscopy located at the renowned Rabin Medical Center in Israel, known for its world class medical treatment facilities.
