Spine Surgery / Orthopedics / Neurosurgery
The Consultant Endoscopic Spine Surgeon specializes in the diagnosis, management, and surgical treatment of spinal disorders using advanced ultra-minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques. The primary focus is to provide targeted, motion-preserving solutions (such as transforaminal and interlaminar endoscopy) that minimize muscle damage, reduce post-operative pain, and accelerate patient recovery compared to traditional open spine surgery.
Clinical Evaluation & Patient Selection: Conduct comprehensive outpatient evaluations for patients with spinal pathologies. Carefully identify ideal candidates for endoscopic interventions versus open surgery based on advanced imaging (MRI, CT, dynamic X-rays).
Advanced Endoscopic Procedures:
Perform full-endoscopic spinal procedures including Transforaminal and Interlaminar Endoscopic Discectomy for lumbar/cervical disc herniations.
Perform Endoscopic Decompression / Foraminoplasty for spinal canal and lateral recess stenosis.
Utilize specialized endoscopic equipment, radiofrequency triggers, and high-speed burrs safely under continuous fluid irrigation and fluoroscopic guidance.
Complex & Combined Spine Care:
Manage multi-level degenerative spine disease, spondylolisthesis, and spinal trauma.
Perform minimally invasive spinal fusions (e.g., Endoscopic TLIF) or traditional open spine surgery when clinically indicated by the candidate's core specialty framework.
Post-Operative Care & Rehab: Oversee immediate post-operative recovery, ensure appropriate pain management protocols, and coordinate closely with physical therapy teams for early mobilization.
Multidisciplinary Alignment: Collaborate with Neurologists, Rheumatologists, Pain Management Specialists, and Physiotherapists to deliver comprehensive, non-operative and operative spine care.
