Keyhole or Endoscopic or Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries

Less Trauma, More Healing: Experience the Future of Spine Surgery with Keyhole Techniques

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), also called ‘Keyhole’ or ‘Endoscopic’ Spine Surgery is a surgical approach that targets the bones of the spine using smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery.

This technique minimises damage to surrounding muscles and tissues, resulting in less postoperative pain and quicker recovery times.

During MISS, surgeons use a tubular retractor—a stiff, tube-shaped tool—to create a tunnel to the affected area of the spine, allowing for the insertion of specialised instruments.

Advanced technologies such as high-resolution cameras, operating microscopes, computer-assisted guidance, and real-time X-rays enhance the precision of these procedures.

These surgeries may be recommended for various spinal conditions that have not improved with conservative treatments such as medication and physical therapy.

Unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) is a type of Transforminal Endoscopic Surgery which is a minimally invasive technique that uses two portals on the same side of the body to treat spinal disorders.

These surgeries are recommended for

  • Herniated discs
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
  • Spinal deformities like scoliosis
  • Spinal instability
  • Spondylolisthesis (a vertebra slipping forward)
  • Spondylolysis or pars defect (a defect in part of a lower vertebra)
  • Fractured vertebrae
  • Tumour removal in the spine
  • Infection in the spine
  • At Neuro Spine Health Center, our team specialises in minimally invasive spine surgery techniques, ensuring that each patient's treatment plan is tailored to their specific needs.

    What are the benefits of keyhole or minimally invasive spine surgeries?

  • Reduced Tissue DamageSmaller incisions lead to less collateral damage to surrounding tissues, which can result in a shorter recovery period.
  • Less PainPatients often experience lower levels of postoperative pain and may require less pain medication.
  • Faster RecoveryMany patients can return to their normal activities more quickly than with traditional surgery.
  • Lower Risk of ComplicationsThe minimally invasive approach typically results in fewer complications and shorter hospital stays.
