Operative Discectomy Under Microsope
| Operative Discectomy Under Microsope | |
|---|---|
|
Definition By directly looking at the projected disk compressing the nerve, surgeon will make an incision 2-3cm to precisely remove the disk. Relvant Patients Spinal Canal Stenosis, Severely Degenerated Disc, Lumbar Disc Herniation with a Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Advantages - Since the doctor directly sees the projected disk through a microscope, there is less cutting of the skin and an accurate incision - The operation involves minimal bleeding, and has low risk of blood transfusion taking place - The operation takes roughly 30 minutes, plus 7 days of hospitalization, allowing quick return to everyday routine. |

Advantages
- Spinal joints are agglutinated to lower the likelihood of recurrence
- Unstable spine is fixed to provide stability
- Restoration of disc height

Vertebroplasty & Balloon Angioplasty - Percutaneous Vertebroplasty
Definition
When the spine is broken or collapsed by utilizing C-arm to check the relevant area in order to erect the spine to make it function. With regional anesthesia and by looking at the area in pain, real time, insert a long niddle into the fractured spine to inject medicinal bone cement (reinforcing agent) to higher up the vertebral body and decrease the pain.

Vertebroplasty & Balloon Angioplasty - Percutaneous Balloonplasty
Definition
When the spine is broken or collapsed by utilizing a C-arm to check the relevant area in order to erect the spine to make it function. With regional anesthesia and by looking at the area in pain, real time, insert a balloon to restore the pressured vertebral body and then inject medicinal bone cement (reinforcing agent) with a niddle. This is safer than the usual Vertebroplasty.

Relevant Patients
- Compression fracture patients with no improvement from conservative treatments
- No pain release by physical therapy or conservative treatment
- Compression fracture patients with no improvement from conservative treatments
- No pain release by physical therapy or conservative treatment
Advantages
- Almost no scar left with a no incision, least invasive operation
- Possible to treat pateints of diabetes or high blood pressure since the surgery gives regional anesthesia
- Rapid recovery, rapid return to daily life after a short procedure

Caution during operation
If the patient moves while operation, the niddle could damage the spinal cord and blood veins around the spine. No sudden move while surgery, and a plastic subsidiary must be worn for about 3 months.
