SRN Hospital Pioneers Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
24 Jul
Summary
- Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital performs first unilateral biportal endoscopy spinal surgery.
- Advanced technique offers less pain and faster recovery for patients.
- Local access to specialized treatment reduces need for distant travel.
The neurosurgery department at Swaroop Rani Nehru (SRN) Hospital has reached a new milestone by executing its inaugural spinal surgery employing the unilateral biportal endoscopy method. This advanced, minimally invasive technique was utilized to successfully treat a patient experiencing lumbar PIVD, commonly known as a slip disc, alongside spinal canal stenosis.
The unilateral biportal endoscopy procedure involves minimal incisions, using an endoscope to facilitate the surgery. Its minimally invasive nature significantly reduces muscle damage, leading to decreased postoperative pain, less blood loss, a lower risk of infection, and ultimately, a quicker recovery period for patients.
According to SRNH media in charge Dr. Santosh Singh, the patient's post-operative condition remains satisfactory. This new technique is poised to greatly benefit individuals in Prayagraj and the broader Purvanchal region, providing them with access to sophisticated, minimally invasive spinal treatments locally. Consequently, patients will no longer need to undertake extensive travel to metropolitan centers for such specialized medical care.
