Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in India
Minimally invasive Spine Surgery is performed
through small incisions, with the help of
endoscopic instruments and techniques that are
used to have a clear view of the internal organs
of the body. One or more minor incisions,
generally less than half an inch are made,
through which specially designed instruments and
excellent video transmitting machines are
inserted. The muscles of the back are moved from
their spinal connections to make space for the
surgeon to place the rods, screws, bone grafts,
etc as required by the surgery.

What are the benefits of minimally invasive spine
surgery?

• Lesser risk of post-surgery complications and
  infection
• Shorter, more comfortable post-operative
  recovery
• Better clinical outcomes i.e an enhanced
  opportunity to regain physical function.
• Less blood loss during surgery
• Reduced risk of infection

Minimally Invasive Spine Procedures

• Microsurgical Discectomy

Microsurgical Discectomy is a procedure performed
by utilizing a tubular device inserted through a
very small incision. Muscles are moved aside to
see the vertebrae. The herniated portion of the
disc is removed to allow room for the nerve to
resume its normal position. 
There is less damage to nearby parts of the
spine. Patients tend to recover faster. This is
usually done using a microscope for visualizing.

• Endoscopic Discectomy

Many surgical procedures have been revolutionized
by the use of special TV cameras. The procedure
is still the same, but even smaller incisions
(1/4 inch) are made to insert a special magnified
TV camera into the spinal canal so that the
surgeon can actually see the disc material. 
Through these tiny incisions, the camera and
several other surgical instruments are inserted.
Rather than looking through a microscope, the
doctor watches the TV screen while working with
specially designed instruments to remove the disc
material.

• Transforaminal Interbody Lumbar Fusion

Transforaminal Lumbar Fusion (TLIF) is a surgical
technique that is performed from a posterior
approach to stabilize the spinal vertebrae and
disc between. By going through the transforaminal
direction there is less bone removed so thus less
disturbance to the site.  
By fusing the vertebrae to eliminate any movement
between the bones, the spine is stabilized and a
reduction of pain and nerve irritation is
accomplished. Surgical hardware (screws and
rods) can be applied to help enhance the fusion.
Bone graft, along with an interbody spacer will
be inserted into the disc space helping to
restore normal height and opening up the nerve
foramina to take pressure off the nerve roots.

• Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) is a
surgical technique for placing bone graft between
adjacent vertebrae (interbody). Using various
instruments, the disc is removed through the
right and left sides of the spinal canal and the
intervertebral space, which has been cleared, is
then packed with bone graft and a bone block or
cage implant.
Instrumentation, such as pedicle screws, are used
to provide support for the fused vertebrae.
Additional bone graft may be placed to ensure a
solid fusion.

• Kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty is a procedure used to restore the
strength and height of a collapsed or fractured
vertebra by infusing bone cement in the affected
vertebra. It is mainly indicated in elderly
patients suffering from weak and brittle bones
due to osteoporosis.

• Nucleoplasty or Percutaneous Discectomy

Nucleoplasty or Percutaneous Discectomy is a
procedure utilized for the treatment of chronic
back pain caused by a contained herniated disc.
This minimally invasive procedure uses a needle
that is placed into the center of the disc where
a series of channels are created to remove tissue
from the nucleus.
Tissue removal from the nucleus acts to
decompress the disc and relieve the pressure
exerted by the disc on the nearby nerve root.
