Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression

Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression

Spinal stenosis is one of the most common spinal issues and occurs due to the narrowing of the spinal canal. The reason why it is very common is that it can occur due to other spinal issues like disc herniation, DDD, etc. While spinal stenosis can be treated without surgeries, there could be cases where surgery is required. That’s why many people fear getting their spinal stenosis treated because spinal interventions can be risky.

But that’s not the case anymore as we at Axis Clinics offer Percutaneous SStenoscopic Lumbar Decompression, a minimally invasive intervention for lumbar spinal stenosis, which has changed the spinal intervention completely. From the risk element of operation to the recovery time, this intervention significantly decreases all these factors and increases the patient’s comfort. When our experts at Axis Clinics deliver this surgery, the effectiveness becomes even greater. So, if you are also dealing with the symptoms of spinal stenosis, then contact Axis Clinics today!

What is Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression?

Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression is a percutaneous intervention, which means it takes place through the skin, making it a minimally invasive surgery. Moreover, it also uses a medical device called a stenoscope, a special Stenoscopic device for spine interventions. Moreover, since the surgery is done to decompress the nerves in the spinal cavity, it is known as a decompression surgery.

This surgery is typically opted for spinal stenosis in the lumbar region. However, there can also be other spinal issues for which it can be used. Also, being a minimally invasive surgery, it is safer than the traditional methods. It takes less time to recover, completes through a very small incision, and ensures lesser blood loss.

What Conditions Can Be Treated With Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression?

Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression is primarily used for spinal stenosis in the lumbar region, but as discussed above, there are some other complications related to the spine for which Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression can be used. Here are the common conditions that can be treated with PercutaneousStenoscopic Lumbar Decompression:

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

The narrowing of the spinal canal for various reasons is known as Spinal stenosis. When it occurs in the lumbar region, the term lumbar spinal stenosis is used. With Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression, the narrowed canal is made broader, and compression is released from nerves.

Herniated Disc

Sometimes, disc herniation causes the problem of spinal stenosis as the bugled material of the disc decreases the space in the spinal cavity. In such cases, Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression is an effective surgery.

Foraminal Stenosis

It is also a narrowing problem in the spine, which occurs at the end of the spine, where the nerves leave. Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression helps to widen the cavity in case of foraminal stenosis.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Sometimes, age-related degeneration causes the problems mentioned above. Hence, Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression may be used.

How Does Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression Work?

Firstly, an incision is created on the back of the patient through which the stenoscope will enter the body. As the name refers, the incision is made percutaneous, which means only through the skin. Now, through the incision, the stenoscope is inserted. The surgeon guides the endoscope to reach the locations where the doctors have to operate.

As it reaches the location, it provides a clear view of everything around it. Lastly, the surgery starts with the help of specialized tools. With these tools, the material that is causing the compression is carried out. After that, the nerves are decompressed. Once all this is done, the incision is closed with stitches.

What are the Benefits of Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression?

The benefits of Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression range from being minimally invasive to taking less time to recover. Here are some of the benefits of Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression which make it better than traditional surgery:

  • Minimal Risk Involved: With Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression, the risk of internal scarring, excessive blood loss, etc., can be minimized and eliminated in most cases.
  • Faster Recovery: The recovery after the treatment is faster on Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression because of the smaller incision and lesser tissue disruption.
  • Instant Relief: With Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression, the symptoms of spinal stenosis and other issues get relieved instantly. In most cases, the patient starts to walk pain-free from the next day of treatment.

Patient's Journey at Axis Clinics: The Process of Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression

At Axis Clinics, we focus on the comfort of patients and successful treatment by the best doctors in India. Here’s how it feels like being in OT for Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression:

Preparation

Before the operation starts, our doctors prepare everything for it. Moreover, the patient is also prepared for the operation. The doctors inject anesthesia to make sure that the patient doesn’t feel any pain or discomfort as doctors start surgery.

Operation

Once the preparation is done, it’s time to start the surgery. The surgeon makes the incision, which is mostly a centimeter long. Then, the stenoscope is placed inside the incision. Once it reaches the designated place, the surgeon puts the other equipment and starts taking out the material that is causing the compression. It can be the bulged material, bone spur, etc. After taking out the material and releasing the compression of the nerves, doctors take out equipment and stitch the incision.

Recovery

We at Axis Clinics also take care of the recovery and rehabilitation of the patient. Our specialists design the recovery routine and exercise routine to help the patient get back to their regular life.

Conclusion

With Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression, spinal stenosis, and other spinal conditions can be treated without any complications. If you want to get treatment for spinal stenosis, you can consult our doctors and get the best treatment for it. While Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression is absolutely a great treatment, we still start with conservative treatment if it can be helpful.
