Upper limb surgery has seen a massive technological shift in recent years. In 2026, the hallmark of Shoulder and Upper Limb Surgery Armenia is the use of high-definition arthroscopy. This "keyhole" approach allows surgeons to repair complex tears and joint damage through incisions smaller than a centimeter.
Neurosurgery in 2026 is a discipline of millimeters. Spine Surgery and Advanced Neurosurgery Armenia now relies heavily on Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM). This technology allows the surgical team to monitor the electrical signals of your spinal cord and peripheral nerves in real-time during the operation. If a nerve is even slightly compressed, the system alerts the surgeon instantly, virtually eliminating the risk of post-operative neurological deficits.
