MISS (Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery)
Spine Masters Jalandhar is a leader in Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery for treatment of various spine problems like slip disc, herniated disc, spondylosis, cervical etc at affordable cost. Spine surgeon and specialist, Dr Pankaj Trivedi has been doing spine surgeries from last 20 years, in Jalandhar.
Minimally invasive spine surgery is an endoscopic procedure that uses specialized video cameras and instruments that are passed through small incisions (less than 2 cm) in the back, chest or abdomen to access the spine and perform the needed surgery.
Following conditions can be treated with this technique :
Herniated disc
Spinal stenosis
Scoliosis
Spinal instability
Spondylolysis
Fractured vertebra
Spine Tumor
Infection in the spine
Many types of minimally invasive spine surgery are performed by Dr. Trivedi including :
- Spinal fusion, which is often performed on degenerative disks
- Deformity corrections, such as for scoliosis
- Repair of herniated disks
- Decompression of spinal tumours
- Repair and stabilization of vertebral compression fractures
Minimally invasive spine surgery offers several advantages over open surgery, which typically requires large incisions, muscle stripping, more anesthesia, a long hospital stay, and a long recuperation period.
The benefits of MISS spine surgery include :
- A few tiny scars or No Stitch instead of one large scar
- Shorter hospital stay – a few days instead of a week
- Reduced postoperative pain
- Shorter recovery time – a few months instead of a year – and quicker return to daily activities, including work
- Less blood loss during surgery
- Reduced risk of infection
Who should opt for Stitchless Disc Surgery ?
People who have severe back pain, numbness or pain or weakness in upper or lower body and are not responding to non-surgical treatments like pain killers, anti-inflammatory medicines / drugs & physiotherapy are considered for minimal invasive spine surgery. However, they require further investigations like CT Scan/X Ray/MRI to confirm whether there is a bulging or protruding disc that can be corrected by surgery.
