Understanding Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat conditions like slipped discs with precision and minimal disruption. Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a renowned neurosurgeon in Secunderabad, specializes in this advanced technique using a keyhole approach, ensuring faster recovery and less pain for patients.
Single-Portal Keyhole Technique
For patients with a single or two-level slipped disc, Dr. Kalyan employs the single-portal keyhole technique. This method involves creating a small 8mm opening through which a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope are inserted. This approach minimizes muscle and bone disturbance, offering a targeted solution to relieve nerve pressure.
When to Consider Biportal or Microscopic Approaches
In cases where the spine condition involves three or more levels, or when there is complex narrowing that requires extensive decompression, Dr. Kalyan may opt for biportal or microscopic techniques. These methods provide additional working space, allowing for more comprehensive treatment of larger spinal issues.
