ENDOSCOPIC DISCECTOMY - An Ultra-Minimally Invasive Daycare Spinal Surgery Procedure

An endoscopic discectomy (ED) is a surgical procedure that is used to remove herniated disc material in the spine. This procedure is ultra minimally invasive and is one of the least invasive surgical techniques available for treating spinal disc herniation.

During the procedure, We use a tubular retractor to observe the spine. The tube is inserted through small incisions to minimize damage to surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional open surgeries, this procedure does not require the removal of muscles and bones. I gently move the muscles to the side and hold them in place without cutting or tearing them. The patient is administered local anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort. The camera in place serves as a passageway for surgical instruments used during the procedure. I use fluoroscopy for guidance and visualization. With all of the pieces in place, the affected disc material is removed using a grasper. Usually no stitch is needed

The entire process usually takes about 30 minutes and does not traumatize the spine like traditional open surgeries. Most patients can go home 2-3 hours after the procedure.

World Osteoporosis day - 20/10/2023

Inaugurated Free screening camp for people above 50 years till this month end
(for Osteoporosis and Spine health) Global Health City Perumbakkam - Sholinganallur, Chennai

Osteoporosis is known as the "silent disease" because it advances without symptoms until a fracture occurs. It weakens the bones, making them more brittle and prone to fracture. Though it is mostly prevalent in the elderly, post-menopausal women are also susceptible, and it is critical to understand that prevention and control may begin at any age.
1. Early Prevention: We must take a proactive approach to bone health by eating a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D and exercising regularly.
2. Regular Screenings: Screenings at regular intervals for the “ at risk population “ is mandatory. Bone density scans performed on a regular basis can help detect early indications of osteoporosis, allowing for earlier intervention.
3. Lifestyle Options: Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol use, as well as reducing the risk of falls through safety measures, can lower the incidence of fractures greatly.
4. Treatment Options: If osteoporosis is diagnosed, numerous treatment options, including drugs, can assist control and lessen its impact.
