Spine surgery is a highly specialized medical procedure designed to address a range of spinal conditions, including trauma, herniated discs, spinal tumors, and degenerative diseases. Dr. Kapil M Khandelwal, a renowned neurosurgeon with over 10 years of experience, offers advanced and minimally invasive spine surgery techniques to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
Spine surgery involves diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the spinal cord, vertebrae, discs, and surrounding tissues. It is often performed when conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, or injections fail to provide relief. Dr. Khandelwal is skilled in performing complex spine surgeries with a focus on preserving spinal stability and function.
Spine surgery is typically considered for conditions such as:
Dr. Khandelwal evaluates each patient’s unique condition through imaging studies and clinical assessments to determine if surgery is the best course of action.
Dr. Khandelwal specializes in minimally invasive techniques that involve smaller incisions, reduced tissue damage, and quicker recovery. Procedures like microdiscectomy and percutaneous fixation are commonly performed using advanced technologies for precise outcomes.
Herniated or degenerated discs can compress nerves, causing pain and discomfort. Disc surgery, such as discectomy or artificial disc replacement, helps relieve pressure on the nerves and restore spinal function.
In cases of spinal fractures or injuries caused by accidents or falls, Dr. Khandelwal performs surgeries like spinal fixation and vertebroplasty to stabilize the spine and relieve pain.
Spinal tumors can be benign or malignant and may require surgical removal to prevent further complications. Dr. Khandelwal uses state-of-the-art techniques to safely remove tumors while preserving spinal integrity.
This procedure involves fusing two or more vertebrae to eliminate movement between them, often recommended for conditions like spinal instability or severe arthritis. Dr. Khandelwal ensures precise alignment to restore stability and reduce pain.
These minimally invasive procedures involve injecting bone cement into fractured vertebrae to stabilize them and alleviate pain caused by osteoporosis or trauma.
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including:
Dr. Khandelwal’s expertise in MISS ensures that patients experience less pain and a quicker return to daily activities.
Recovery from spine surgery varies based on the procedure and patient condition. Dr. Khandelwal provides personalized rehabilitation plans that may include:
Patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures often experience shorter recovery periods and a faster return to normal activities.
Spine surgery is a life-changing procedure that can relieve chronic pain, restore mobility, and improve overall quality of life.
