Introduction of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Our Hospital
Our hospital is proud to announce the implementation of minimally invasive spine surgery, a cutting-edge approach that requires smaller skin incisions and consequently reduces muscle damage. This technique typically leads to faster postoperative recovery for patients.
We specialize in four primary methods:
- Endoscopic procedures such as lumbar discectomy (MED), lumbar window opening (MEL), and cervical discectomy (c-MEL).
- Spinal fusion utilizing percutaneous screw insertion (PPS), specifically MIS-TLIF (Minimally Invasive Surgery-Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion).
- Lateral approach spinal fusion, known as XLIF (Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion).
- Treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures (OPCF) through percutaneous balloon vertebroplasty (BKP).
Additionally, for complex surgeries related to spinal deformities extending from the thoracic spine to the pelvis, we employ advanced techniques like XLIF and PPS. This innovative combination significantly minimizes surgical blood loss, thereby reducing the overall physical impact on patients.
These advancements reflect our commitment to patient-centered care, prioritizing safety, efficiency, and recovery outcomes.
