Bernardo Mosqueira Centurion

With minimally invasive microsurgery guided by a surgical microscope, Bernardo Mosqueira Centurion focuses on restoring quality of life for people with lumbar and cervical spine problems. At the clinic, his practice centers on herniated discs and spinal canal stenosis—conditions that can limit walking, daily movement, and comfort. The clinic also describes his work as including cervical and lumbar microdiscectomy, with careful visualization of the affected area through the microscope. His career path began with medical training in Paraguay: he graduated in Medicine from the National University of Asunción in 1998. He later specialized in Neurosurgery in 2007. Over the following decades, he worked within the Neurosurgery Service at Carlos Haya University Hospital in Malaga, participating in the Spinal Surgery, Epilepsy Surgery, and Parkinson’s Disease Surgery groups. Among the clinical priorities emphasized by the clinic are timely surgical decisions and the patient-centered doctor–patient relationship—so that fear and uncertainty do not block the path to treatment. In practice, the clinic highlights microscope-guided procedures for herniated discs and spinal stenosis, including lumbar microdiscectomy. It also notes approaches aimed at avoiding plates or screws when the surgical plan allows.

Clinical focus and techniques

At the clinic, Bernardo Mosqueira Centurion is presented as a spine neurosurgeon who relies on microscope-assisted minimally invasive surgery for disc and canal conditions. The emphasis is on precise visualization of the surgical field and on selecting the right timing and approach for each case.

• Minimally invasive microsurgery using a surgical microscope (microsurgery).
• Lumbar microdiscectomy for lumbar herniated discs.
• Microdiscectomy for lumbar and cervical hernias (as described by the clinic).
• Surgical microscope–guided procedures for spinal canal stenosis (lumbar and cervical).
• Microscope-guided herniated disc surgery described as performed without plates or screws (when appropriate).

Professional societies and certifications

• Neurosurgery Specialist (2007).

Academic output

The clinic lists three specialty book chapters authored by Bernardo Mosqueira Centurion, all published in 2012: “Hemangioblastomas” and “Cranial base tumors” in CNS tumors in adults and children. A multidisciplinary neuro-oncological approach, and “Fluorescence-guided tumor resection” in another volume within the same specialty series.

Courses and advanced training

• Not listed in the available clinic materials.

Awards and recognition

• Patient gratitude and awards are presented by the clinic as a reflection of his philosophy of individualized care for spinal pathologies.

For international patients, the clinic frames consultations around trust, closeness, and clear discussion of the best solution—especially when surgery is needed. The clinic also describes patients coming from across Spain to the Malaga office for spine consultations and surgical care. The approach is presented as noninvasive microsurgery, with attention to improving quality of life regardless of the time of year.
