Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery

Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery

Traditionally, spine surgeries are done open, which means a surgeon uses long incisions, and there is a significant retraction of muscle to expose the spine; however, as technology has advanced; as a result, surgeons can now make smaller incisions to accomplish the same tasks.

With these smaller incisions, there's less trauma or disruption of the soft tissue around the spine, which typically results in less blood loss lower rates of infection and faster recovery.

Microscopic spine surgery in Ahmadabad is most recent, advanced and safest and involves surgery under guidance of microscope with the help of special tubular cylindrical retractor instruments which enhance the safety due to the better magnified 3 dimensional visualization obtained due to microscopic assistance.

The indications for minimally invasive spine surgery are relatively similar to open surgery. Several conditions can be treated with this technique, such as:

• Stenosis which is narrowing around the spinal cord or nerve roots.
• Infections of the spine.
• Tumor.
• Diminished sensation to heat & cold.
• Instability in the spine which is the abnormal movement between bones which can be very painful.

Advantage of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery -

• Smaller incisions, so there's less disruption of the soft tissue around the spine patients.
• Less pain after surgery.
• Lower rates of infection.
• Patients can recover and get back to life quicker.

There are many different types of minimally invasive spine surgery, many different techniques that are used. All of these techniques share in common is a goal of minimizing injury to the muscle and ligaments around the spine.
