Understanding Leg Pain After Disc Surgery
Post-surgery leg pain is often due to nerve compression in the lower spine. Typically, this occurs between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae. When a disc fragment compresses the nerve root, it can cause significant discomfort. Even after surgical intervention, the nerve may remain oversensitive, leading to sensations like tingling or numbness.
Advanced Endoscopic Techniques
Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a renowned neurosurgeon in Hyderabad, specializes in keyhole endoscopic spine surgery. This minimally invasive procedure uses an 8mm incision and is muscle-sparing, ensuring a quicker recovery. The surgery is performed using a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope, allowing for precise nerve decompression.
Collaborative Approach to Pituitary Surgery
For pituitary surgeries, Dr. Kalyan collaborates with ENT specialist Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti. They perform endoscopic transnasal procedures, eliminating the need for skull cuts. This approach minimizes trauma and enhances recovery, offering patients a less invasive option for addressing pituitary issues.
Monitoring Recovery with Functional Dynamic EMG
Post-surgery, Functional Dynamic EMG is utilized to monitor nerve recovery. This advanced technique helps ensure that the nerve signals are healing signals rather than warnings, aiding in the assessment of the patient’s progress.
