About the doctor

Experience
more than 27 years

Dr. Ilya Pekarsky is a world-renowned surgeon whose patients have included famous athletes, major business figures, politicians, and actors. He specializes in treating intervertebral hernias, osteochondrosis, scoliosis, spinal canal stenosis, spinal tumors, and back injuries. Dr. Pekarsky has extensive experience in neurosurgical spinal operations, performing approximately 40 such interventions per month. He performs intervertebral disc transplantation for cervical hernia, placing an artificial polymer disc implant that preserves mobility in the cervical spine and is MRI-compatible, unlike metal implants. He prioritizes minimally invasive surgery, which reduces tissue trauma, uses smaller incisions, and allows for a faster postoperative recovery, making spinal surgeries comparable in recovery to gallbladder operations.
