Understanding Keyhole Spine Surgery
Keyhole spine surgery, also known as endoscopic spine surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve nerve pain caused by disc herniation. This technique involves using an 8mm incision to access the spine, sparing the muscles and preserving healthy disc tissue. Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a renowned neurosurgeon in Hyderabad, specializes in this advanced procedure.
The Procedure: A Collaborative Approach
Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti performs endoscopic transnasal pituitary surgery in collaboration with ENT specialist Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti. This two-surgeon team approach ensures precision and expertise, utilizing a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope for enhanced visualization. The goal is to effectively address the specific nerve pain, not general backaches, by freeing the trapped nerve and alleviating leg pain.
Success Rates and Outcomes
Globally, studies report that 85 to 90% of patients experience good to excellent relief from nerve pain following endoscopic disc surgery. Dr. Kalyan’s personal experience surpasses these figures, with over 95% of his patients achieving significant pain relief. His extensive experience, with over 7,500 surgeries, contributes to these outstanding results.
Minimizing Recurrence
Recurrence rates for disc issues post-surgery are a concern. Published literature indicates a 3 to 6% recurrence rate, but Dr. Kalyan’s meticulous technique and comprehensive follow-up care have kept this under 1% in his patients. This success is attributed to careful removal of the disc fragment and ongoing patient monitoring.
Commitment to Patient Care
