Understanding Keyhole Spine Surgery
Keyhole spine surgery is a minimally invasive technique that offers significant advantages for treating slipped discs. Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a renowned neurosurgeon in Hyderabad, specializes in this approach, which minimizes muscle and bone disturbance. Using a single portal, the procedure involves an 8mm incision, allowing the 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope to access the affected area efficiently.
Choosing the Right Surgical Approach
The choice of surgical technique depends on the complexity and number of affected disc levels. For one or two slipped discs, Dr. Kalyan recommends the single portal keyhole method. This approach is ideal for focused problems, as it involves minimal disruption. For more complex cases involving three or more levels, a biportal or microscopic approach may be necessary to provide adequate decompression.
The Role of Functional Dynamic EMG
Functional Dynamic EMG is an advanced tool used during spine surgeries to monitor nerve function in real-time. This technology ensures that the surgical team can make precise adjustments, enhancing the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.

Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti collaborates with ENT specialist Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti for pituitary surgeries, utilizing an endoscopic transnasal technique. This teamwork ensures comprehensive care and optimal outcomes for patients undergoing these complex procedures.
