Innovative Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a renowned neurosurgeon at Apollo Hospitals, Secunderabad, specializes in minimally invasive spine surgeries. Utilizing a keyhole approach, he employs an 8mm incision to access the spine, ensuring minimal muscle disruption. This technique, aided by a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope, allows for precise treatment of spinal conditions.
Understanding the Transforminal Approach
The transforminal approach leverages the spine’s natural anatomy. Each nerve exits the spine through a neural foramen, a natural opening that Dr. Kalyan uses to access slipped disc fragments. This method avoids creating new openings, reducing recovery time and preserving spinal integrity.
Benefits of Muscle-Sparing Techniques
By sparing the muscles, Dr. Kalyan’s endoscopic procedures significantly decrease postoperative pain and recovery time. The small incision and targeted approach minimize tissue damage, allowing patients to return to their daily activities more quickly.
Collaborative Pituitary Surgery
Dr. Kalyan, in collaboration with ENT specialist Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti, performs endoscopic transnasal pituitary surgeries. This technique avoids skull incisions by accessing the pituitary gland through the nasal passage, ensuring a safer and less invasive procedure.
Advanced Monitoring with Functional Dynamic EMG
During spine surgeries, Dr. Kalyan employs Functional Dynamic EMG to monitor nerve function in real-time. This advanced technology enhances surgical precision and patient safety, ensuring optimal outcomes.
