Endoscopic Spine surgery its need in Today wllsu

 Endoscopic also known as minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), is a type of surgical procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light on the end (endoscope) to visualize the spine and perform surgery through small incisions. This approach is less invasive than traditional open spine surgery, which requires a larger incision to access the spine

 Procedure:

Endoscope insertion: A small incision (usually 1-2 cm) is made in the skin, and the endoscope is inserted through the incision.

Visualization: The endoscope provides a clear view of the spine, allowing the surgeon to visualize the affected area.

Surgical dissection: The surgeon uses specialized instruments inserted through separate small incisions to dissect and remove or repair the affected tissue.

Advantages:

Why spine surgery its need in today’s world

Less tissue damage: Minimizes trauma to surrounding muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.

Reduced recovery time:  Patients typically experience less post-operative pain and recover faster.

Less bleeding: Smaller incisions result in less bleeding and reduced risk of complications.

Improved visualization: The endoscope provides a clear view of the spine, allowing for more accurate and precise surgery.

  


 

 

Less risk of complications: Compared to traditional open surgery, MISS has been shown to have fewer complications and a lower risk of infection.

Indications:

Herniated discs: Endoscopic discectomy can relieve pressure on compressed nerves.

Spinal stenosis: Endoscopic laminotomy can help widen spinal canals and relieve pressure on the spinal cord.

Spondylolisthesis: Endoscopic procedures can help stabilize the spine and alleviate pressure on surrounding tissues.

Degenerative disc disease: Endoscopic procedures can help reduce pain and stiffness associated with degenerative disc disease.

Types of Endoscopic Spine Surgery:

Endoscopic discectomy: Removes herniated disc material or debris.

Endoscopic laminotomy: Widens spinal canals to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.

Endoscopic foraminoplasty: Widens nerve passages to relieve pressure on compressed nerves.

Endoscopic spinal fusion: Fuses two or more vertebrae together.

It's essential to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine if endoscopic spine surgery is suitable for your specific condition and needs.  Visit Wellsun Medicity super specialty (Neuro Department )

How Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty is Revolutionizing Urological Care in Wellsun Medicity ?

Image
Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, a common condition where the ureter meets the kidney. This condition can cause symptoms such as flank pain, abdominal pain, and frequent urination. Conventional open surgery for UPJ obstruction often involves a large incision, which can lead to prolonged recovery times, significant scarring, and increased risk of complications. The Rise of Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty In recent years, laparoscopic pyeloplasty has emerged as a revolutionary alternative to traditional open surgery. This minimally invasive technique offers numerous benefits, including: Smaller Incisions: Laparoscopic pyeloplasty requires only a few small incisions, typically 1-2 cm in length, compared to the 10-15 cm incision required for open surgery. Less Pain: The minimally invasive nature of laparoscopic pyeloplasty reduces post-operative pain and discomfort, allowing patients to recover fas
