Keyhole Spinal Fusion Surgery

Key Hole Spinal Fusion in Mukundapur

Keyhole Spinal Fusion Surgery is a minimally invasive technique that is utilised to stabilise the spine with minimal tissue damage and shortened recovery time. This procedure differs from traditional spine surgeries because it is performed using small incisions and specialised instruments which significantly reduce blood loss and risk of surgery-related complications. A combination of modern technology in medical science and real-time image guidance for thorough precision, Keyhole Spinal Fusion Surgery is proven as an effective solution for patients dealing with chronic pain due to herniated disc, nerve compression and other related conditions of the spine.

How it Works

Keyhole Spinal Infusion Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. This approach uses a tubular retracting system that uses specialised instruments to separate the muscle fibres to gain access to site of the problem. Small incisions, about 1-2cm long, are made in the back and through them, specialised tubular retractors are inserted to gently separate the muscle fibres to create a pathway for reaching the spine. Through high-resolution image and X-ray guidance, the surgeon removes the damaged discs or fragmented pieces, and then inserts a bone graft between the vertebrae. Small screws are installed to stabilise the spine and allow it to fuse naturally over time. As the bone heals, the vertebrae fuse together in one solid segment, thereby reducing pain and discomfort, and preventing abnormal movement.
