Minimally Invasive, Endoscopic and Laser Spine Surgery - Best Spine Surgery in India

Laser therapy is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 milliwatts or less) or an array of high intensity super luminous diodes (providing total optical power in the 1000-2000 milliwatt range).

Conditions treated include musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and wounds. The light source is placed in contact with the skin allowing the photon energy to penetrate tissue, where it interacts with various intracellular biomolecules resulting in the restoration of normal cell morphology and function. This also enhances the body's natural healing processes. The following chart outlines some of the specific effects of Low Intensity Laser Therapy. 

The underlying science behind cold laser therapy is sound. Studies have shown that light of certain wavelengths can reduce pain and inflammation. Lasers can offer very focused beams of light which can be used to target specific areas, which means that in theoretical use, a low intensity laser calibrated to emit light of a specific wavele ngth could potentially be used very effectively to treat areas of inflammation on the body. However, like all medical devices, cold lasers need to be carefully evaluated for safety and efficacy.

Doctors generally recommend cold laser therapy as part of an overall pain management program. For people dealing with chronic pain, cold laser therapy is an option which could be used to reduce the pain, while people with persistent inflammations may also benefit. However, this therapy should not be undertaken without medical supervision, and it is generally not recommended as a replacement for other forms of medical treatment, such as the use of physical therapy to manage chronic pain.

Some practitioners of acupuncture have suggested that cold laser therapy could be used much like acupuncture and acupressure, with the beams of the laser targeting specific points on the body. These practitioners of alternative medicine rely on their training and experience to support their beliefs about the use of cold laser therapy. Stimulation of pressure points can be used to treat a number of conditions treatable with acupuncture. 

A number of terms are used to refer to cold laser therapy, including low power laser therapy (LPLT), low level laser therapy (LLLT), biostimulation, soft laser, and laser acupuncture. In all cases, the technique involves exposing the skin to targeted laser beams for set periods of time and at set intervals. The light in the laser is supposed to stimulate damaged cells to promote healing and a reduction in inflammation and pain. The "cold" refers not the temperature of the laser, but to the fact that the laser is of low intensity, rather than high intensity lasers, which can burn the skin. 

Our network hospitals have the most advanced spine surgery facilities. The spine surgeons here use minimally invasive and computer guided techniques in spine surgery. In a Minimally Invasive spine surgery the surgeon makes a few small incisions unlike the open surgery where a single large incision is made. 

Minimally Invasive spine surgery has several important benefits for the patients. If you have been advised spine surgery your first choice should be the latest minimally invasive technique developed by our world best hospitals in India. Most advanced Technology like Intra Operative MRI, Brain Suite and Computer Assisted Navigation System are deployed by highly trained surgeons for accurate and safe Spine Surgeries through a small incision.

Why should you choose to get Indian hospitals offer the best spinal surgery treatment in India at affordable prices. MedWorld india associated best spine surgery hospitals in India have the latest technology and infrastructure to offer the most advanced spine surgery at low cost.

Salient features of these hospitals are:

• Comprehensive management of spine disorder from birth defects to degeneration of tumor and trauma.

• Dedicated team of International trained and vastly experienced Spine Surgeons, Rheumatologists, Neurologist, Physicians and Physiotherapist.

Most Advanced Minimally Invasive Lumbar Fusion Surgery in India

Lumbar spinal fusion is a common technique to help patients with back pain, who have failed non-operative treatment. Once you and your physician have decided that you need fusion of your lumbar spine, you should realize that there are many different ways this procedure can be done. The choice of which technique is best for you is dependent on what is wrong with your spine. Your surgeon may have more experience with fusion techniques from the front of the spine (anterior), the back of the spine (posterior), or some of the newer, less invasive approaches. These newer techniques are often called Minimally Invasive Spinal (MIS) surgery. The goals of all these techniques remain the same, to achieve a lumbar fusion, and lessen the patient's pain.

The most common method of spinal fusion involves the posterior approach, with an incision along the back of the patient's spine. Often, this procedure is used if bone spurs, thickened ligaments, or disc ruptures need to be removed to alleviate pressure on the nerves. The fusion procedure then involves placement of metal screws, rods and bone graft. Anterior spinal fusions require an incision through the abdomen. After removal of the degenerated disc, a metal cage with bone graft is usually placed between the spinal bones (vertebral bodies). Some patients will require both front and back procedures.

There are many new surgical techniques that are being developed to improve the results of lumbar fusions. Minimally invasive spine surgery for lumbar fusion is one of these newer techniques. MIS procedures have smaller incisions, cause less trauma to the surrounding normal tissues, and hopefully results in a faster recovery for the patient. One of these MIS techniques is a procedure known as extreme-lateral lumbar interbody fusion (XLIF). During the XLIF procedure the lumbar spine is approached from the side through a small skin incision. The surgery is performed through a muscle that lies next to the lumbar spine known as the psoas muscle.

With the XLIF procedure, approximately 2/3 of the disc can be safely removed. After the disc is removed, an artificial graft is placed in between the vertebrae, to allow the bones to fuse together. For a single level XLIF procedure, the surgery can be usually be performed in about an hour. Most patients stay in the hospital for 24 hours following the procedure, and do not require a brace. Occasionally, weakness may be noticed while lifting your leg after surgery. This psoas muscle weakness should return to normal fairly soon after surgery.

Not everyone is a candidate for this surgery, once conservative (non-operative) treatments have failed, you should consult a surgeon to see if you are an appropriate candidate.

The major advantage of all of these  minimally invasive techniques is that there is less damage caused to the surrounding tissues. Unfortunately, in traditional spinal surgery it is necessary to cut through muscles and move them out of the way in order to reach the spine. This can cause a large amount of pain following surgery, and it can lengthen the recovery time. Instead of cutting and moving muscles, the minimally invasive techniques can more gently spread through the muscles to allow access to the spine. This is much less painful for the patient, and it does not require as long of a recovery period for the muscle to heal.

Another benefit of less muscle damage is less blood loss and thus a reduced need for blood transfusions using the minimally invasive techniques. There is often less need for narcotic pain medications following this form of surgery, and a shorter hospital stay.
