Yes, we do major spine surgery without open incision, absolutely bloodless & stitchless.
How do we do it?
It is very advanced spine procedure, in which patient is awake & aware during surgery as done under local anesthesia. After seeing MRI & examining patient, We diagnose culprit pain generator. We target herniated disc fragment by IITV & live HD tv, camera, irrigation system by DILATOR,SHEATH & ENDOSCOPE. We remove disc fragment with use of grasper, hook, annular cutter gradually & finally seal annulus with platelet plug.
