Introduction Title: Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Subtitle: Advancements and Benefits Presented by: Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute
What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)? Definition: Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) involves smaller incisions and less muscle dissection compared to traditional spine surgery. Objective: To reduce recovery time, minimize scarring, and decrease postoperative pain.
Benefits of MISS Reduced Risk of Infection: Smaller incisions lower the chance of infection. Quicker Recovery Time: Patients typically recover faster compared to traditional surgery. Less Postoperative Pain: Reduced muscle disruption leads to less pain after surgery. Minimal Scarring: Smaller incisions result in less noticeable scars.
Common Conditions Treated with MISS Herniated Disc Spinal Stenosis Degenerative Disc Disease Spinal Deformities (e.g., Scoliosis) Spinal Tumors
Procedures in MISS Microdiscectomy: Removal of herniated disc material pressing on a nerve. Spinal Fusion: Joining of two or more vertebrae to eliminate movement between them. Laminectomy: Removal of a portion of the vertebral bone called the lamina. Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty: Stabilization of compression fractures in the spine.
How MISS is Performed Preoperative Planning: Use of imaging techniques like MRI and CT scans. Surgical Technique: Use of tubular retractors. Insertion of surgical instruments through small incisions. Use of fluoroscopy for real-time imaging. Postoperative Care: Pain management. Physical therapy.
Technology in MISS Endoscopes: Provide visualization inside the body through small incisions. Microscopes: Enhance the surgeon’s view of the surgical area. Navigation Systems: Assist in precise placement of instruments. Robotics: Improve accuracy and reduce the surgeon’s hand tremors.
Patient Selection for MISS Ideal Candidates: Patients with specific spinal conditions suitable for MISS. Patients with overall good health and no significant comorbidities. Contraindications: Patients with severe osteoporosis. Patients with certain complex spinal deformities.
Risks and Complications Potential Risks: Infection Bleeding Nerve Damage Blood Clots Complication Management: Early detection and treatment of complications. Postoperative monitoring.
Conclusion Summary: Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery offers numerous benefits, including faster recovery and less postoperative pain. Future Prospects: Continued advancements in technology will further improve outcomes and expand the range of treatable conditions.
