The Benefits of Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery

Patients who undergo minimally invasive spinal surgery procedures such as Kyphoplasty and MILD benefit from efficient pain management and little recovery time. These techniques, in contrast to conventional open operations, prevent muscle and tissue damage by making small incisions, which speed up the healing process. Patients usually return to their regular activities considerably sooner after being discharged on the same day. These procedures are safer and more cosmetically pleasing because of the decreased risk of infection, decreased blood loss, and decreased scarring. From spinal fractures to nerve compression, a variety of disorders can be treated using spine treatment that emphasizes minimally invasive procedures. Certain spinal issues can be precisely diagnosed and treated by professionals using state-of-the-art equipment. This method prioritizes long-term health while improving patient comfort and results. The objective is to provide painless outcomes so that patients may have more active and satisfying lives. Spinal surgery that is minimally invasive could be an alternative once traditional therapies have failed.

Kyphoplasty Procedure for Spinal Fractures

Painful spinal fractures can be treated with kyphoplasty, a minimally invasive technique that helps patients improve their spinal pain. In order to restore height and stability, a small balloon is inserted into the damaged vertebra. After that, bone cement is poured into the balloon; it soon solidifies, offering both structural support and instant pain relief. To reduce risks, Dr. Ilana Etelzon uses fluoroscopic imaging to guide the treatment precisely. For fractures brought on by trauma or osteoporosis, this therapy works particularly well, avoiding more serious issues like deformity or persistent discomfort. With little post-operative discomfort, the majority of patients see noticeable improvement in a few hours. People usually recover quickly and can resume their regular activities without significant limitations. In addition to providing pain relief, kyphoplasty helps avoid long-term spine problems brought on by vertebral fractures. Patients receive thorough spine care that is customized to meet their unique needs with Dr. Etelzon’s care at Pain Doctors.

MILD Procedure for Spinal Stenosis

With MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression), patients with lumbar spinal stenosis can experience great relief. In order to relieve strain on the spinal canal, this minimally invasive procedure eliminates extra ligament tissue and tiny fragments of bone. Without requiring extensive surgery, MILD enhances mobility and lessens nerve compression through a little incision. Compared to conventional decompression procedures, Dr. Ilana Etelzon’s method ensures less tissue damage, less discomfort, and a quicker recovery. Soon after the treatment, patients usually report a considerable improvement in their quality of life and a reduction in discomfort. For older patients or those with comorbidities who might not be able to handle open surgery, MILD is very helpful. Accuracy is crucial when using real-time imaging to guide therapy, improving patient outcomes. Achieving painless outcomes that enable people to enjoy more freedom and activity is the ultimate objective.

Furthermore, MILD is an outpatient surgery, meaning that patients can go home the same day, reducing hospital stays and facilitating a quicker return to regular activities. For people who want to relieve lumbar spinal stenosis without the extended recovery period that comes with standard surgery, this makes it an affordable and practical choice. With an emphasis on patient-centered care, Dr. Ilana Etelzon ensures a customized strategy that attends to each patient’s requirements and concerns. Her proficiency in minimally invasive procedures and cutting-edge technologies enable her to provide remarkable outcomes, assisting patients in regaining their self-reliance and self-assurance in their everyday lives. For people who have battled persistent back pain and mobility problems, MILD is a game-changing remedy that improves general wellbeing and brings comfort back. With its proven safety and effectiveness, the MILD procedure stands as a revolutionary advancement in spinal care, offering hope and lasting relief to those suffering from the debilitating effects of spinal stenosis. Patients who undergo the MILD procedure often describe it as life-changing, enabling them to reclaim activities they once thought were no longer possible.
