Area Of Expertise
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery uses small incisions and advanced tools to treat spine issues with a low impact on muscles and tissues.
Benefits include:
Smaller cuts and less blood loss
Reduced pain after surgery
Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
Lower risk of infection
The term MISS is most commonly used for issues related to the discs, spinal stenosis and nerve compression.
Spinal Deformity Correction (Scoliosis & Kyphosis)
Spinal deformity correction focuses on treatment of spinal cord curvature.
Scoliosis:
Sideways curvature of the spine
Kyphosis:
Excessive forward rounding of the upper back
Surgical management may include fixation with pedicle screws, rods and modern techniques like osteotomies, for the improvement of alignment, postural correction, pain relief and overall function improvement.
Endoscopic and Microscopic Spine Surgery
The following are exquisite spine surgery techniques that are performed with the help of specially designed cameras and microscopes.
This is achieved through endoscopic spine surgery whereby a tiny camera through a very small incision is used to achieve this.
Microscopic Spine Surgery:
Uses a high-powered microscope for accuracy
This approaches enable surgeons to treat disc herniation, nerve compression and spinal stenosis by using very small tissue dissection and faster recovery.
Spine Trauma and Tumor Treatment
This area focuses on managing:
Spine trauma: Injuries from accidents, falls, or sports
Spinal tumors:
Non-cancerous or cancerous growths affecting the spine
Aforementioned treatment goals are to support the spine, protect neural structures, alleviate pain, and restore functional ability through operative intervention, fixative techniques as well as multidisciplinary management in complex cases.
Disc Replacement Surgery
Spinal disc replacement surgery is basically the removal of a damaged spinal disc. The natural process of removing the damaged disc with an artificial one.
Advantages include:
Preserves natural spine movement
Reduces pain caused by worn-out discs
Alternative to spinal fusion in selected patients
It is performed typically around the neck or lower back in case of pain related to discs.
Elderly Spine Surgeries
Elderly spine care focuses on age-related spinal conditions such as:
Degenerative disc disease
Osteoporosis-related fractures
Spinal stenosis
These procedures are not carried out on a whim but are meticulously planned to guarantee safety, pain control, improved mobility and expedited recovery, mostly by minimally invasive techniques.
Pain Intervention Procedures
Procedures for the intervention of pain are non-surgical or minimally invasive treatments which help in managing chronic spine pain.
These may include:
Nerve blocks
Epidural injections
Radiofrequency treatments
They serve as one way of pain relievers, they help improve movement and in some cases, if not all, will prevent surgery altogether or delay it.
