Understanding Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to address specific spinal issues, such as herniated discs that press on nerves. Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a leading neurosurgeon in Hyderabad, utilizes advanced techniques to ensure effective treatment with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Innovative Techniques for Optimal Outcomes
Dr. Kalyan employs a keyhole, or monoportal, approach using an 8mm incision. This technique is muscle-sparing and involves the use of a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope. This allows for precise visualization and handling of spinal structures, ensuring that the offending fragment is carefully removed.
Collaborative Approach to 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 method reduces recovery time and enhances patient comfort.
Advanced Monitoring for Safety
During spine surgeries, Dr. Kalyan uses Functional Dynamic EMG to monitor nerve function in real-time. This advanced monitoring helps ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure, minimizing the risk of nerve damage.
Experience and Expertise
Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti’s extensive experience in both spine and skull-base surgeries makes him a trusted choice for patients in Hyderabad and Secunderabad. His commitment to utilizing the latest technology ensures high standards of care.
