Endoscopic spine surgery, also known as keyhole spine surgery, is a minimally invasive technique that allows Mr Bhaskar Thakur to treat spinal conditions through small incisions. This advanced approach reduces tissue damage, shortens recovery time, and minimises postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
How Endoscopic Spine Surgery Works
Using specialised endoscopic instruments and high-definition cameras, Mr Thakur can visualise the spine in detail while performing precise interventions. Small incisions, often less than a centimetre, are used to access the affected area, reducing trauma to muscles and soft tissues while maintaining spinal stability.
Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Reduced blood loss and lower risk of complications
- Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
- Less postoperative pain and quicker return to daily activities
- High precision for targeted treatment of herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression
Conditions Treated with Keyhole Surgery
Endoscopic spine surgery is effective for a range of conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, foraminal nerve compression, and recurrent disc problems. Mr Thakur evaluates each patient individually, using imaging and clinical assessment to determine the most suitable procedure.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia. Advanced imaging techniques guide the instruments, ensuring precise targeting of the affected area. Patients experience minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, which allows for a smoother and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients can return home within a day or two, with gradual improvement in pain and mobility over the following weeks. Postoperative care includes physiotherapy, gentle exercise, and activity modifications to support spinal healing. Mr Thakur provides a personalised recovery plan for every patient.
Endoscopic spine surgery combines modern surgical technology with Mr Bhaskar Thakur’s expertise in neurosurgery to deliver effective, minimally invasive treatment for complex spinal conditions. This approach maximises patient comfort while achieving excellent clinical outcomes.
