Endoscopic Spine Surgery In Nagpur
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique use to treat various spine conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and other spinal disorders. Unlike traditional open spine surgery that requires a larger incision and muscle dissection, endoscopic procedures involve smaller incisions and the use of specialized instruments and an endoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera.
Endoscopic spine surgery can be used to address a range of spine conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, foraminal stenosis, facet joint arthritis, and some types of spinal tumors.Due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure and reduce trauma to surrounding tissues, patients may experience a faster recovery compare to traditional open spine surgery. Therefore,This can lead to a quicker return to normal activities.
How Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery Perform?
Patient Preparation:
- Before the surgery, the patient undergoes a thorough evaluation, including imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans, to precisely identify the location and nature of the spinal issue.Firstly, The patient is also brief on preoperative instructions.
Anesthesia:
- Endoscopic spine surgery can be perform under local or general anesthesia, depending on the specific procedure and patient preference. Thus,The anesthesia choice is discuss between the patient and the surgical team.
Positioning:
- Once, The patient is positione on the operating table, and the surgical area is cleaned and sterilized. Fluoroscopy (X-ray guidance) may be used to confirm the correct positioning of instruments during the procedure.
Incision(s):
- Small incisions, often less than one inch in length, are made over the affect area of the spine. Thus,The number and location of incisions depend on the specific procedure and the location of the spinal issue.
Dilating the Tissues:
- Firstly, A series of dilators are inserted through the incisions, gradually enlarging the surgical corridor. once, The dilators help create a path to the spine while minimizing disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues.
Insertion of the Endoscope:
- Once the surgical corridor is established, the endoscope, which is attach to a camera and light source, is insert through one of the incisions. The endoscope provides real-time, magnifying images of the internal structures of the spine on a monitor.
Endoscopic spine surgery offers the benefits
Reduce Muscle and Tissue Trauma:
- Endoscopic techniques are designed to minimize damage to the muscles and soft tissues along the surgical path. once,This can result in less postoperative pain and a potentially faster recovery compare to open surgery.
Smaller Incisions and Scars:
- Endoscopic procedures typically require small incisions (keyhole incisions) through which the endoscope .thus, specialized instruments are insert. Thus,This leads to smaller scars, which are cosmetically more appealing.
Reduced Blood Loss:
- Thus,Due to the smaller incisions and reduce tissue trauma, endoscopic spine surgery is associated with less blood loss compared to traditional open surgery.
Quicker Recovery Time:
- Patients undergoing endoscopic spine surgery may experience a faster recovery compared to open surgery. once,The reduced trauma to surrounding tissues contributes to quicker healing and a shorter hospital stay.
Lower Risk of Infection:
- Firstly The smaller incisions and reduce exposure of internal tissues may be associated with a lower risk of surgical site infections compare to open surgery.
