Biportal Endoscopic Discectomy
Biportal Endoscopic Discectomy is an advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) technique. The surgeon creates two tiny incisions to insert a high-definition endoscope and specialized surgical instruments. This provides a clear, magnified view of the spine, allowing the surgeon to precisely remove only the problematic tissue that is causing pain, while preserving the surrounding healthy muscles and tissues.
Key Advantages of Biportal Endoscopic Spinal Surgery
- Minimal Scarring & Less Pain: The incisions are extremely small, measuring only about 1 to 1.5 centimeters.
- Faster Recovery: Less muscle and tissue damage allows patients to recover and return to normal life much quicker.
- Lower Complication Rates: Significantly reduces the risk of post-operative complications, such as scar tissue compressing the nerves (epidural fibrosis).
- High Safety & Shorter Hospital Stay: An exceptionally safe procedure that minimizes the time you need to spend in the hospital.
Common Conditions Treated
- Herniated Disc
- Spinal Stenosis
- Spondylolisthesis
Surgical Procedure
- General anesthesia is administered by an anesthesiologist to ensure you are completely asleep and pain-free.
- The surgeon makes two small incisions to insert the endoscope and specialized surgical instruments.
- The procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the severity and complexity of the condition.
Post-Operative Care
During the first 2 weeks following the surgery, patients should strictly adhere to these guidelines:
- Avoid lifting heavy objects.
- Avoid excessive bending, twisting, or turning of the back.
- Avoid straining during bowel movements or coughing forcefully.
Pre-Operative Preparation
- Please inform your doctor about any underlying medical conditions and medications or supplements you take regularly.
- Stop taking antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications (blood thinners) for at least 7 days prior to the surgery, as directed by your physician.
- Fasting (no food or drinks of any kind) is required for at least 6 hours before the surgery.
