Understanding Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Endoscopic spine surgery, particularly the keyhole or monoportal approach, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve nerve compression. Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a renowned neurosurgeon in Secunderabad, performs this surgery using an 8mm incision, ensuring muscle preservation while providing effective pain relief.
The Role of Advanced Technology
Dr. Kalyan utilizes a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope to enhance precision during surgery. This technology allows for a clear view of the affected area, facilitating the removal of disc fragments that compress nerves, such as the nucleus pulposus, which can cause leg pain.
Defining Success in Spine Surgery
Success in endoscopic spine surgery is defined by the relief of leg pain caused by nerve compression, not the complete resolution of all back pain. The primary goal is to free the trapped nerve, alleviating the shooting pain down the leg, a common symptom of disc issues.
Collaborative Approach in Pituitary Surgery
For pituitary surgeries, Dr. Kalyan collaborates with ENT specialist Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti. Together, they perform endoscopic transnasal surgeries, offering a minimally invasive solution without the need for skull cuts, ensuring patient comfort and quicker recovery.
Functional Dynamic EMG in Spine Procedures
During spine surgeries, Functional Dynamic EMG is employed to monitor nerve function, ensuring patient safety and optimizing surgical outcomes. This advanced monitoring technique is part of Dr. Kalyan’s commitment to delivering high-quality care.
