Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries
Endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgeries are advanced surgical techniques used to treat spine conditions with smaller incisions, reduced tissue damage, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgeries. These procedures utilize specialized instruments, including endoscopes and small cameras, to access the spine through tiny incisions, allowing surgeons to perform the surgery with greater precision and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Minimally invasive spine surgery is often used to treat conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and degenerative disc disease. The benefits of this approach include less pain, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and a lower risk of complications, enabling patients to return to their normal activities faster.
Benefits of Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries
Endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgeries offer numerous advantages over traditional open surgery, including reduced trauma to muscles and tissues, quicker recovery times, and smaller scars. This makes it an ideal option for patients looking for effective treatments with minimal downtime.
- Smaller incisions with minimal tissue disruption
- Reduced pain and shorter recovery time
- Lower risk of complications and infections
- Quicker return to daily activities
Using the latest technology, our spine surgeons perform endoscopic and minimally invasive procedures with the utmost precision. The advanced imaging systems used allow for greater visibility and access to hard-to-reach areas of the spine, ensuring that the surgery is as effective and minimally disruptive as possible.
How Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries Work
During endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions near the affected area of the spine. A small camera (endoscope) is inserted through one incision, allowing the surgeon to visualize the area and guide surgical instruments to remove or repair damaged tissues. The surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure. The small incisions lead to faster recovery times and less scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
