ENDOSCOPY AND RELATED PROCEDURES
We do Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic spine surgery(PELD) ,Discography, Selective Nerve Root Block (SNRB),Cervical discography, and Foraminoplasty PELD : This is a latest advancement in disc surgery in lumbar region. This procedure is done under local anasthesia with least damage to surrounding structures. Only one day admission is needed.
Discography : in this procedure radioconstrast agent is injected into the intervertebral disc space under fluoroscopic guidance to evaluate annular competence and also to help us to correlate the patient’s symptoms with the disc pathology and decision making for surgery. SNRB is a specialized procedure which tries to correlate the patient’s pain to a particular nerve root.
Foraminoplasty is the very recent advancement in the field of endoscopic spine surgery by which we can open up the intervertebral foramina and relieve the compressive effect on the nerve root by disc, ligament or abnormal bone.
