Understanding Keyhole Spine Surgery
Keyhole spine surgery, also known as endoscopic spine surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to address spinal issues such as herniated discs. Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a renowned neurosurgeon in Hyderabad, performs this surgery using an 8mm incision, ensuring minimal muscle disruption and quicker recovery.
Advanced Technology for Precision
Dr. Kalyan utilizes cutting-edge technology, including a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope, to enhance the precision and effectiveness of the surgery. This technology allows for a detailed view of the surgical area, ensuring accurate removal of the problematic disc material.
Collaborative Approach in Pituitary Surgery
For pituitary surgeries, Dr. Kalyan collaborates with ENT specialist Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti. Together, they perform endoscopic transnasal procedures, accessing the pituitary gland through the nose without the need for skull incisions, reducing recovery time and improving outcomes.
Proven Success Rates
Research indicates that 85 to 90% of patients experience significant relief following endoscopic spine surgery. Dr. Kalyan’s extensive experience, with over 7,500 surgeries, ensures that patients receive care that meets or exceeds these benchmarks.
Functional Dynamic EMG for Optimal Outcomes
To further enhance surgical outcomes, Dr. Kalyan employs Functional Dynamic EMG during procedures. This technique monitors nerve function in real-time, ensuring that nerve pathways remain intact and functional throughout the surgery.
