Understanding Keyhole Spine Surgery
Keyhole spine surgery, also known as endoscopic spine surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure performed by Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti in Secunderabad. This advanced technique involves using a small 8mm incision to access the spine, ensuring minimal muscle disruption and faster recovery.
The Procedure: A Closer Look
During the surgery, Dr. Kalyan utilizes a 4K camera and Joimax HD endoscope to clearly visualize the affected area. This precise approach allows for the safe removal of problematic fragments, such as herniated discs, while preserving surrounding tissues. The surgery itself typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes for a single level.
Pre- and Post-Operative Process
While the surgical procedure is relatively quick, the total time spent in the operating theater is about 2 to 3 hours. This includes crucial steps like anesthesia, patient positioning, and post-operative care to ensure a safe and effective outcome.
Endoscopic Transnasal Pituitary Surgery
Dr. Kalyan, in collaboration with ENT specialist Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti, performs endoscopic transnasal pituitary surgeries. This technique involves accessing the pituitary gland through the nose, avoiding the need for skull cuts, and ensuring a less invasive approach.
Advanced Monitoring Techniques
To enhance patient safety and outcomes, Functional Dynamic EMG is used during surgeries. This technology helps monitor nerve function in real-time, allowing for precise surgical interventions and reducing the risk of complications.
