Say Goodbye to Back Pain with Less Pain and Faster Recovery.
Less Pain | Faster Recovery
At Canadian Specialist Hospital (CSH) Dubai, we offer state-of-the-art minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) and endoscopic spine surgery techniques to treat various spinal conditions. These advanced procedures provide a revolutionary approach to addressing back pain and spinal disorders with minimal tissue disruption.
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions or sometimes no incisions at all, significantly reducing damage to surrounding muscles and tissues. This approach leads to less pain, faster recovery, and improved outcomes compared to traditional open spine surgery.
While most back pain cases can be managed conservatively, your healthcare provider might recommend spine surgery if other treatments, such as medications or physical therapy, have not been effective. Conditions that may benefit from minimally invasive techniques include:
Disc prolapse (herniated disc)
Disc protrusion with or without leg or neck pain
Spinal stenosis
Degenerative disc disease
Spondylolisthesis
It's important to note that not all spinal conditions can be treated with minimally invasive techniques. Our expert spine surgeons will conduct a thorough examination and use appropriate diagnostic tools to determine the best treatment approach for your specific condition.
We offer a range of minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery procedures, including:
Types of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Radiofrequency Disc Ablation: Uses radiofrequency energy to reduce disc size and relieve pressure on nerves.
Disc Laser Therapy: Employs laser technology to vaporize disc material and decompress nerves.
DISKOM Percutaneous Disc Decompression: A minimally invasive technique to remove herniated disc material.
Endoscopic Discectomy: Uses a small camera (endoscope) to guide the removal of herniated disc material.
Facet Block: Injection of medication to reduce inflammation and pain in spinal joints.
Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection: Delivers anti-inflammatory medication to the lower spine to relieve pain.
The selection of the appropriate minimally invasive back surgery procedure depends on factors such as the type of disc prolapse, symptoms, and MRI findings. Our spine specialists will discuss these details during your outpatient consultation.Minimally invasive spine surgery at CSH Dubai typically involves the following steps:
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with mild sedation is administered for patient comfort.
Incision: A small incision (about 2mm) or sometimes no incision is made, resulting in minimal blood loss and tissue damage.
Instrument Insertion: Specialized instruments are inserted through a needle or cannula.
Decompression: The affected disc is decompressed, freeing the compressed nerve root and alleviating pain.
Sample Collection: If necessary, a disc sample may be collected for histopathological diagnosis.
After the minimally invasive or endoscopic spine surgery, patients can expect:
Quick recovery, with most procedures taking only about 30 minutes
Same-day discharge in most cases
Minimal post-operative pain
Prescribed medications for pain management
Physical therapy and home exercises for optimal recovery
Most patients experience immediate relief and can return to work within a few days. However, it's crucial to follow your doctor's advice regarding resuming normal activities, especially heavy lifting.
