Minimally Invasive Spinal Stabilization in India

Minimally Invasive Spinal Stabilisation

Percutaneous screw fixation is an advanced surgical approach that offers the benefits of minimal invasiveness. During this procedure, metal rods and screws are strategically placed to stabilise the spine without the need for large traditional incisions. Dr. Sandeep Vaishaya is a leading surgeon in Gurgaon specialising in this technique, and it is often employed as part of a spinal fusion surgery. This method utilises small incisions, reducing tissue disruption and promoting a faster recovery.

When is Percutaneous Pedicle Fixation Necessary?

Percutaneous pedicle fixation is typically performed in conjunction with spinal fusion surgery. This surgical technique involves the use of transplanted bone material to encourage the fusion of two or more vertebrae, resulting in increased spinal stability. The procedure is employed for various reasons, including:

Degenerative Spinal Conditions: To alleviate pain caused by degenerative spinal conditions.

Trauma: Stabilising the spine after traumatic injuries.

Tumors and Infections: Treating instability resulting from tumors or infections.

Correcting Deformities: Addressing spinal deformities for improved alignment.

The Procedure – A Closer Look

Percutaneous screw fixation is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you remain unconscious throughout the procedure. Here is an overview of the surgical process:

Small Incisions: Dr. Sandeep Vaishaya will make tiny incisions on both sides of your spinal column.
Guided Screw Insertion: Metal screws are inserted through these small incisions, guided by advanced imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy or intraoperative navigation systems that utilise X-ray or CT images. In some cases, robotic assistance may be employed for enhanced precision.
Rod Insertion: Once the screws are in place, metal rods are inserted into special slots on the screw heads and securely locked into position.
Closure: After the instruments are removed, the small incisions are closed using one or two sutures.

Preparing for the Procedure

Prior to the surgery, it is important to provide your surgeon with a detailed list of your current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Special attention should be given to any medications that may affect blood clotting, such as aspirin. Your doctor may recommend discontinuing these medications before the surgery. It is also crucial to disclose any allergies you may have, whether related to medications or food.
On the day of the surgery, be sure to remove nail polish from acrylic nails, and avoid wearing jewellery or makeup.
If you anticipate staying overnight, pack necessary items such as a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Dr. Sandeep Vaishaya is a highly skilled surgeon renowned for his expertise in this technique. Rest assured, you will receive comprehensive information about the procedure and experience the latest advancements in medical technology.
