Minimally Invasive/Keyhole Surgeries
Minimally invasive spine surgery requires tiny incisions to operate on the affected area in the spine, ensuring minimal damage to bones, muscles and ligaments.
Overview
Minimally invasive spine surgery requires tiny incisions to operate on the affected area in the spine. These small incisions are the size of a keyhole, hence the name keyhole surgery. Performed using an instrument called tubular retractor, the surgery creates a tunnel-like opening. It ensures minimal damage to bones, muscles and ligaments, while also keeping the blood loss as low as possible.
How It's Done?
To gain access to the spinal area, the muscle tissue needs to be pushed out of the way as the spinal cord and intervertebral nerve are located deep in the body. After creating a tunnel-like opening, the doctor inserts an endoscope or uses a surgical microscope to get a clear image of the operating area. Mini surgical instruments are used to operate on the affected area and then the incision is stitched back.
