Understanding Failed Back Surgery
Failed back surgery syndrome is a complex issue that doesn’t stem from a single cause. Post-surgery complications can include scar tissue, known as fibrosis, which may entangle and tether nerves, causing pain and discomfort. Other issues might involve a recurrent disc fragment or instability at a new spinal level. Identifying the exact cause is crucial before considering further surgical interventions.
Advanced Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a renowned neurosurgeon in Secunderabad, specializes in keyhole or monoportal endoscopic spine surgery. This minimally invasive technique uses an 8mm incision, sparing muscle damage and promoting quicker recovery. The procedure is performed using a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope, ensuring precision and clarity during surgery.
Collaborative 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 cuts. This approach minimizes recovery time and reduces the risk of complications.
Innovative Techniques for Better Outcomes
Dr. Kalyan incorporates Functional Dynamic EMG during spine surgeries to monitor nerve function in real time. This technology helps in reducing the risk of nerve damage and improving surgical outcomes. With over 7,500 surgeries to his credit, Dr. Kalyan’s expertise ensures personalized and effective treatment plans.
Choosing the Right Treatment
Before opting for a second surgery, it’s essential to diagnose the underlying issue accurately. Dr. Kalyan emphasizes a thorough evaluation to determine whether the problem is due to scar tissue, a new disc fragment, or spinal instability. This careful approach ensures that each patient receives the most appropriate treatment.
