Understanding Keyhole Spine Surgery
Keyhole spine surgery, performed by Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti at Apollo Hospitals, Secunderabad, is a minimally invasive procedure. Utilizing an 8mm incision, this muscle-sparing technique employs a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope for precise visualization. Dr. Kalyan, a neurosurgeon, ensures effective treatment with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Recovery Timeline
Post-surgery, patients can expect a gradual return to normal activities. Most desk jobs can be resumed within three to four days, with breaks recommended. Light driving is typically possible within a week to 10 days, provided the patient is pain-free and not on sedative painkillers. Lifting and sports activities depend on individual recovery, guided by Functional Dynamic EMG assessments.
Benefits of Endoscopic Techniques
The endoscopic approach offers several benefits, including reduced recovery time, less postoperative pain, and minimal scarring. The precision of the 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope allows for targeted treatment, preserving healthy tissue and promoting faster healing.
Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery
For pituitary tumors, Dr. Kalyan collaborates with ENT specialist Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti. The endoscopic transnasal approach avoids skull cutting, ensuring a less invasive procedure with quicker recovery. This teamwork enhances patient outcomes and surgical precision.
