Understanding Keyhole Spine Surgery
Keyhole spine surgery, also known as monoportal endoscopic spine surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure performed by Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti in Hyderabad. This technique involves a small, 8mm incision, allowing for muscle-sparing access to the spine. The use of a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope ensures high-definition visualization, enabling precise surgical interventions.
The Surgical Process
While the actual surgery, from incision to closure, typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes for a single-level procedure, the total time spent in the operating theater is about 2 to 3 hours. This includes essential steps such as anesthesia administration, patient positioning, and careful preparation. These steps are crucial to ensure patient safety and optimal surgical outcomes.
Advanced Technology for Better Outcomes
Dr. Kalyan employs advanced technology, including the 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope, to achieve crystal-clear views of the surgical area. This technology allows for precise manipulation of delicate structures, such as nerve roots, ensuring they are free from pressure and irritation. The use of Functional Dynamic EMG further enhances surgical precision and patient safety.
