Tube Surgery In Nagpur
Tube surgery for the spine typically refers to minimally invasive spine surgery techniques that involve the use of tubes or tubular retractors to access the spine. These procedures are designed to treat various spinal conditions with less disruption to surrounding tissues, smaller incisions, and reduced postoperative pain compared to traditional open spine surgery.
The use of tubes or retractors in these surgeries allows surgeons to access the spine through smaller incisions while avoiding extensive muscle dissection. This approach aims to preserve normal anatomical structures, reduce blood loss, and provide patients with a quicker return to normal activities.
Types of Tube Surgery
Tubular Microdiscectomy:
In tubular microdiscectomy, a tubular retractor is used to create a small pathway to the affected area of the spine. This narrow tube is inserted through a small incision, and it serves as a tunnel to access the spine. The surgeon then uses specialized instruments to remove a portion of a herniated disc or perform other necessary procedures while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues.
Endoscopic Spine Surgery:
Endoscopic spine surgery involves the use of an endoscope, which is a thin tube with a camera and light source, to visualize and treat spinal conditions. Similar to tubular microdiscectomy, this technique allows surgeons to access the spine through small incisions. The endoscope provides real-time imaging of the internal structures, and the surgeon can use specialized tools to address issues such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or other spinal abnormalities.
