What is minimally invasive spine surgery?
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses modern neurosurgical methods. These methods treat spinal conditions with minimal trauma. During surgery, the surgeon works through small incisions. Therefore, he uses special instruments and technology. As a result, the operation is precise and gentle.
Endoscopic discectomy
Endoscopic discectomy is a typical example. Doctors use it for a herniated disc. During it, the surgeon inserts an endoscope through a small incision. Then he removes the hernia precisely, without large cuts. As a result, the patient recovers faster.
Transcutaneous vaporisation
Transcutaneous vaporisation helps with chronic back pain. First, the doctor inserts an electrode through the skin. Then a high-frequency current destroys the nerve fibres that carry pain. As a result, the method reduces pain and keeps the vertebra intact.
Equipment and precision
These operations need advanced equipment. For example, a microscope, an endoscope, neuronavigation and X-ray systems. Therefore, the surgeon keeps precise control. Also, the methods require experience and special training.
Benefits of the method
- minimal tissue trauma;
- less pain after surgery;
- fast recovery and short rehabilitation;
- quick return to normal life.
