Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
we already know that many of the spine procedures are now done in a minimally invasive way using the technology Which is now available to us. This always remains a question that it if one needs a spine procedure then easy a good candidate for a a minimally invasive spine surgery for endoscopic spine surgery or he still requires a very traditional open spine surgery .Which kind of surgery to perform is is generally a description of a spine surgeon handling the case.
Endoscopic Spine Surgery
You may have already heard the names like arthroscopy & laparoscopy etc. So any procedure in which we use an endoscope to visualize the inside human body and correct the pathology (problem) is called endoscopy. Spine endoscopy is relatively a new technique.In endoscopy a thin tube like structure called endoscope is used to visualize inside the spine and the problem leading to compression of the nerves is removed using very thin instruments through the endoscope.
Cervical Spine Surgery
Cervical spine surgery is a very common form of spine surgery over the neck region of the spine which is also called as cervical spine. Generally cervical spine surgery is recommended by a spine surgeon when there is some structural, developmental,degenerative or wear and tear problem related to the spine which is leading to either structural or neurological compromise in the bones of the vertebrae belonging to the neck.
Minimal Access Spine Surgery
Minimally access spine surgery (MASS) is an alternative to traditional open surgical procedures performed to treat different spinal disorders, such as degenerative disc disease, herniated disc, scoliosis, and spinal stenosis. Spine surgery performed minimally invasively offers many potential benefits, such as small incisions, less cutting through soft tissues (eg, ligaments, muscles), outpatient options, less post-operative pain, and faster recovery.
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a contemporary approach to spinal fusion surgery. It is an operation performed on the lower back to remove an intervertebral disc and join two or more spinal bones (vertebrae) together using screws and a cage.
Specifically, a TLIF involves:
-
Decompression of the nerves in the lower back
-
Removal of a facet joint
-
Removal of the intervertebral disc
-
Stabilisation of the disc level by inserting screws into the bones above and below (pedicle screws)
-
Fusing the spine by inserting a cage filled with bone into the disc space (interbody fusion)
Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS)
Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) is an ultra minimally invasive surgical procedure that effectively relieves chronic low back and leg pain.
This state-of-the-art spine surgery utilizes an HD camera attached to an endoscope inserted through a ¼ inch skin incision to the target pain generator in your spine.
The endoscopic orthopedic procedure allows spine surgeons to operate safely, with greater accuracy, and offer patients better outcomes.
The surgeon can observe the spine on an HD monitor and operate through the endoscope using highly specialized micro-instruments like a laser, radiofrequency probe, or graspers.
