Laser Spine Surgery

Laser spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where the doctor uses a small incision to reach the spine structure and Mr. Irfan Malik is the master of laser spine surgery, delivering exceptional results. Unlike open back surgery that requires large incisions in the back to reach the spine, this procedure causes less scarring and injury to nearby structures, Mr. Irfan Malik have the advanced techniques to operate the patients facing spinal injuries. The use of a laser beam for cutting, instead of traditional surgical tools, differentiates laser spine surgery from other minimally invasive procedures.

Overview

Laser spine surgery is a type of minimally invasive spinal surgery that uses a laser to treat certain spinal conditions. The laser is used to remove or shrink soft tissues like parts of a herniated disc or bone spurs that are compressing nerves and causing pain. The procedure is typically aimed at reducing back or neck pain and improving mobility, with less tissue disruption compared to traditional open surgery. Mr. Irfan Malik offers the most advanced and effective laser spine surgery options.

Key Benefits of laser spine surgery

  1. The benefits of laser back surgery are that it is less invasive than the traditional approach to back surgery. Additionally, it can be performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. In many ways it is similar to minimal invasive spine surgery.
  2. Laser spine surgery uses a small incision.
  3. It takes less time.
  4. There is no need for general anesthesia.
  5. Laser spine surgery has a quick recovery.
  6. Laser spine surgery is less traumatic.

Related conditions

  1. Slipped discs
  2. Spinal stenosis
  3. Herniated discs
  4. Spondylolisthesis
  5. Spinal fractures
  6. Spinal tumors

Indications that you need a spine surgery

  1. Slipped, bulging or ruptured disc that can be due to age related wear and tear or by indulging in certain strenuous activities. It is quite possible that you need a spinal surgery if your disc can not be slid back into place with stretching and light exercise.
  2. Having painful bone spurs is another reason why you might need a spinal surgery. Bone spurs are nothing but extra bone growths in the spine. These are consequences of ageing. However, there might be a need to remove bone spurs if they compress or clamp down on spinal nerves.
  3. A dramatically curved spine will also need to be surgically treated. There are two conditions caused by this and they are scoliosis and kyphosis.

Pre procedure tasks

  1. A pre surgery medical checkup and lab tests. Your surgeon needs to be sure you are in good health before this procedure.
  2. Medication review.
  3. Support planning.
  4. Anesthesia planning.
  5. Blood supply planning.
  6. Nicotine use of review and recommendations.
  7. Eating and drinking according to the instructions.

Procedure

Laser spine surgery is minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a focused laser beam to treat certain spinal conditions, typically involving nerve compression, herniated discs, or other soft tissue problems. The laser helps to precisely remove or vaporize tissue, reducing pressure on the nerves and alleviating pain

Post surgery tasks

  1. Prescribed medication should be taken only as directed. Take all the medication with food in your stomach unless otherwise directed. If you experience any abnormal reaction to the medication discontinue the medication and contact our office.
  2. you should resume the medications you were taking prior to surgery once you get home, unless otherwise instructed. If you have any questions regarding these medications, please contact your physician.
  3. you can apply an ice pack to the surgery site for 20 minutes three times a day for comfort and to reduce swelling.
Risks of Laser Spine Injury

Risks of laser spine surgery

  1. Infections are a risk during all surgeries, because the opening of a wound allows for bacteria to get in and cause problems.
  2. Spine surgeons need to be precise with every stroke of the scalpel to ensure only the proper structures are addressed , although they undergo significant training  with laser devices prior to using them on a patient, there is always a possibility the laser is misguided or mismanaged.
  3. Laser surgery can help cut through damaged tissue or nerves, but surgical lasers do not cut through bone, so if the problem is housed in your vertebrae or spinal column, laser may not completely correct the problem.
  4. Lasers cut through structures and soft tissues using concentrated heat, and while they need to be extremely precise during an operation, that heat can spill over onto nearby structures during an operation. This can lead to nerve damage, which can cause incontinence and numbness
