Completing my 100th case with Minimally Invasive Matrix MED discectomy- Day care spine surgery

Image
Proudly today i completed my 100th case using tubular minimally invasive Matrix Micro/endoscopic Disectomy. The discectomy is done using tubular retracters. It utilizes only 1" skin incision. The discectomy is done from the tubes. In normal Microdisectomy , surgeons cut sking , erase muscles from its attachments on the bone of spine. While with the use of tubular retracters there is no muscle damage. On the contrary to dissection, the muscles are dilated using sequential dilaters as shown in the image. The attachments of the muscles are kept intact. Meaning much less damage to normal structures of human back. The patient does not has to experience a lot of operative pain , as there is minimal dissection done during surgery. Much less blood loss and the patients are up on their feet in just 3 hours post surgery. Not only that, patients can go home without pain in just 12 to 16 hours after surgery. A truly day care spine surgery.
