Cutting-edge Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Traditional open spine surgery involves cutting muscles or separating them from the spine to access the damaged components of the spinal column. However, minimally invasive spine surgery can perform the same actions via small incisions, and the muscles don’t have to be cut.
Since the muscles aren’t modified or changed, you can return home within a day or two after the surgery, and you can resume your daily activities and work within a few short days.
MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY TREATS:
- Compressed spinal nerves
- Cervical or lumbar radiculopathy
- Spinal instability
- Spinal deformities
- Herniated intervertebral discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Spinal fractures
- Degenerative disc disease
OUR MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY TECHNIQUES:
- Discectomy: This procedure involves the removal of all or parts of the damaged, ruptured, degenerated, or herniated intervertebral discs.
- Foraminotomy: This procedure involves enlarging the spinal nerve pathways to minimize the pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots.
- Kyphoplasty: This procedure involves stabilizing the damaged vertebrae to reverse the damage caused by spinal compression fractures.
- Laminectomy: This procedure involves removing all or parts of the arch of bone located behind the vertebrae.
- Laminotomy: This procedure involves making a hole in the lamina of the vertebrae to allow the spinal nerves to move unobstructed.
- Spinal Fusion: This procedure involves placing bone grafts around damaged vertebrae to facilitate natural bone regeneration, making two vertebrae join together.
- Vertebroplasty: This procedure involves stabilizing spinal fractures caused by the compression of the vertebrae on the spine.
BENEFITS OF ROBOT-GUIDED SPINE SURGERY:
- 50% to 70% less exposure to radiation
- Optimal precision because of 3D visual guidance
- Removes human margins of error
- Minimal procedure time
- Minimal incisions and scarring
- Minimal tissue damage
- Return home within a day or two
- Minimal post-surgery pain and discomfort
- Minimal muscle retraction
- Optimal implant placement accuracy
- Negligible risk of nerve damage
- Minimal blood loss
- Speedy recovery and healing
