If you have been advised spine neurosurgery your first choice should be the latest minimally invasive technique developed by our world class hospitals in India. Most advanced Technology like Intra Operative MRI, Brain Suite and Computer Assisted Navigation System are deployed by highly trained surgeons for accurate and safe Spine Surgeries through a small incision.
Microsurgical Discectomy: Microsurgical Discectomy is a procedure performed by utilizing a tubular device inserted through a very small incision. Muscles are moved aside to see the vertebrae. The herniated portion of the disc is removed to allow room for the nerve to resume its normal position.
There is less damage to nearby parts of the spine. Patients tend to recover faster. This is usually done using a microscope for visualizing.
Many surgical procedures have been revolutionized by the use of special TV cameras. The procedure is still the same, but even smaller incisions (1/4 inch) are made to insert a special magnified TV camera into the spinal canal so that the surgeon can actually see the disc material.
Through these tiny incisions, the camera and several other surgical instruments are inserted. Rather than looking through a microscope, the doctor watches the TV screen while working with specially designed instruments to remove the disc material.
Microsurgical Discectomy is a commonly used procedure for inter-vertebral disc herniation and spinal stenosis (which occurs due to calcium deposits on the spinal canal, often referred to as, osteophytes). The process is also called as the open operation, as it allows the surgeon to actually view the herniated disc through small incisions in the skin.
This procedure is considered to be more reliable compared to the closed procedures (i.e. percutaneous procedures), as the surgeon can directly view the disc fragments. After moving the muscles of the back and excising a bit of bone tissue, the surgeon can directly look into the spinal canal. The procedure involves the use of an operating microscope which allows magnification of the degenerated spinal disc material and further allows greater mobility to the operating surgeon. This allows quicker post operative healing of the wound and hastens recovery.
The underlying principle of microsurgical discectomy involves the use of microscopes or endoscopic visualization tools, through a small incision in the skin. This minimal invasive surgery has several advantages over the conventional open surgery, which include,
• Reduced frequency of surgical and post operative complications
• Significant reduction in blood loss that may occur during the procedure
• As the procedure is less invasive (i.e. the inter-vertebral disc herniation is excised without disturbing the surrounding muscles and ligaments) compared to the conventional procedure, it requires lesser post operative narcotic pain medication
• There is a considerable reduction in the hospitalization stay and allows the patient to resume his daily routine activities within a few days after the procedure.
• Dedicated team of International trained and vastly experienced Spine Surgeons, Rheumatologists, Neurologist, Physicians and Physiotherapist.
• Latest Generation Diagnostic and Imaging facilities including dynamic digital X rays, Spiral CT scanning , MRI and Electrophysiology unit all under one roof.
• Use of most advanced Surgical techniques for treatment of spinal ailments with focus on Minimal Access Micro Endoscopic spine surgeries, Functional spine preservation techniques and Spinal Arthroplasty for all( disc diseases) as well as instrumentation. Minimally Invasive Surgery ensures quicker recovery and return to active life.
• Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation by experts after the surgery help you regain functional abilities quickly helping in vastly improved overall results.
• Much lesser risk of post surgery complications, infection
• Shorter, more comfortable post-operative recovery
• Better clinical outcomes i.e an enhanced opportunity to regain physical function.
