+91-11-30403040The Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Unit at Centre of Neurosciences provides comprehensive evaluation and therapeutic services to a wide range of neurological conditions. The unit provides each patient under their care with the safest treatment choice using state-of-the-art robotic-assisted technology or endoscopic techniques.
We have a team of highly trained specialists who perform complex and delicate procedures using the advanced minimally invasive techniques to treat complex spinal conditions and helping improve patient’s surgical outcomes.
Minimally invasive spine surgery or MISS is a safe and effective technique used as an alternative to traditional open surgical procedures performed to treat patients suffering from spinal disorders. This type of surgery is performed is to achieve high outcomes while stabilising the vertebral bones and spinal joints and/or relieve the pressure being applied to the spinal nerves. If not treated, it may result in conditions such as spinal instability, bone spurs, herniated discs, scoliosis or spinal tumours.
The major indicators that highlight the need for spine surgery are:
Some of the major conditions we treat under spine surgery include:
Minimally invasive spine surgery is the most advanced surgical process that is the last resort of treatment for people suffering from severe spinal disorders when all other treatment options fail. You are a candidate for minimally invasive spine surgery if:
A patient must talk to a doctor or spine specialist about your pain and symptoms in detail along with the outcomes of different treatments tried by the patient. After evaluating all the considerations your doctor may advise you to undergo surgical treatment to treat back or neck pain.
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), also called less invasive spine surgery is a surgical process that requires a small incision for performing the surgery.
Preoperative Details
Before proceeding with the surgery the doctors have to make sure that the patient is fit for the procedure. This is done by performing a series of tests and screening process. The patient might be prescribed certain medications, a week or two before the surgery, to avoid any sort of infection during or after the surgery.
A patient will receive general anaesthesia before moving to the operation theatre and will sleep through the surgical procedure.
Operative Details
Postoperative Details
After the operation, the patient has to stay in the hospital for a day or two for monitoring purposes. A doctor might prescribe a patient to take physiotherapy sessions in order to have a fast recovery.
At the unit we aim for helping patients suffering from chronic spinal disorders that can lead to permanent deformity and prevent you from living a normal life. Spine surgeries can be of different types:
MIS has many benefits to offer over traditional surgery process
Nowadays, minimally invasive surgeries are becoming more and more common than traditional open surgeries. The surgeons perform the surgery without making large incisions and use small tools, cameras and lights that fit through those incisions using the Robotic surgery technique. This gives them more close control over the surgical process, thereby, resulting in fast after surgery recovery outcomes.
The important precautionary measures one must consider after the surgery are:
Certain risk factors associated with spine surgery include:
However, at BLK-Max Hospital we strive to provide each patient with the most comprehensive care and therefore, it is always a doctor who decided the type of surgery a patient will undergo after completely examining the medical condition of the patient.
