Spine Procedures:
1) Epidural Neuroplasty.
Epidural neuroplasty procedure is more targeted pain management technique for those patients with severe back/neck pain and leg/arm or hand pain due to disc disease, spinal stenosis or even after spine surgery. So, Here epidural injections are done directly in epidural sheath from where nerves from spinal cord pass through to different part/area of body like calf ,thigh, heel, arm, for arm, hand etc. Here procedure is done under IITV(live X-ray) and with the use of dye spread, desired target is intervened . Anti-inflammatory agent injection reduces local inflammation and enzyme helps in breaking adhesions and thus help in relieving pain.
2) Endoscopic Discectomy.
STITCHLESS ENDOSCOPIC DISCECTOMY (SED)/TRANSFORAMINAL PERCUTANEOUS ENDOSCOPIC DISCECTOMY (TPED) is a minimal invasive technique mainly used for treatment of Lumber Disc Herniation/Sciatica.Performed under local anesthesia. So, SED has been proven to be a safe and effective technique.
Here with the help of Endoscope,removal of Herniated Disc Material Selectively is done under vision.In this technique,after needle is entered at herniated portion of disc,dilator is threaded over needle,than sheath is threaded over dilator,then endoscope is introduced in sheath.Muscle & Tissue are dilated rather than cut.Patient is awake through out procedure,so feedback of patient during procedure can be utilized in avoiding any nerve damage.
