Keyhole Spine Surgery (Keyhole Spine Fusion)
What is Keyhole Spine Surgery? Keyhole spine surgery, also known as minimally invasive spine fusion, is an innovative technique that involves making small incisions to access and treat spinal issues. This approach reduces tissue disruption, minimizes scarring, and accelerates recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
How is it Performed? During keyhole spine surgery, specialized instruments and a tiny camera (endoscope) are used to visualize the surgical area. This allows our surgeons to perform spinal fusion by stabilizing vertebrae and reducing pain caused by conditions such as degenerative disc disease or spinal instability.
Benefits of Keyhole Spine Surgery:
- Smaller incisions and reduced scarring
- Less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
- Preservation of healthy tissues and muscles
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
What is TLIF?
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) is a surgical procedure designed to alleviate pain and stabilize the spine by fusing two vertebrae together. This technique is commonly used to treat conditions like degenerative disc disease, disc herniation, and spinal instability.
How is it Performed?
During TLIF, our skilled surgeons access the spine through a small incision in the back. They remove the damaged disc and replace it with bone graft material. Metal screws and rods may be used to hold the vertebrae in place, promoting fusion and stability.
Benefits of TLIF:
- Direct access to the affected disc
- Restoration of spinal alignment
- Fusion of vertebrae for long-term stability
- Reduced risk of damaging surrounding tissues
