Spine Treatment In Delhi

The spine is like a tower made up of 33 separate bones stacked on top of each other. In between each bone, there is a cushion called an intervertebral disc. The spine helps our body stay upright, bend, and twist, and it also protects the spinal cord from harm. To keep the spine healthy, we need strong muscles and bones, flexible tendons and ligaments, and sensitive nerves.

Spine Treatments that Dr Rajesh Malhotra Offers 

As a highly experienced doctor for spine, he offers an extensive array of surgical and non-surgical treatments for all types of spine disorders. Here are some of spine treatments and procedures:

• Discectomy- Microscopic or endoscopic discectomy - Micro endoscopic discectomy is a type of surgery that is less invasive, meaning it involves smaller cuts and less damage to the muscles. It is used to remove all or part of a cushion-like structure called the intervertebral disc. During the surgery, special tools called tubular retractors are used, which allow the doctor to see the area they are working on. They may use a microscope or an endoscope to help them see better. This type of surgery has many benefits, including less damage to the muscles, better appearance of the surgical site, safety, shorter operation time, and faster recovery.
• Minimally Invasive Spinal Stabilization - Dr Rajesh Malhotra, best doctor for spine in Delhi, performs minimally invasive spine surgery to stabilise the bones and joints in the spine. This surgery is done when there are problems like unstable spine, herniated discs, or spinal tumours that are putting too much pressure on the nerves in the spine. The surgery helps to relieve that pressure on the nerves. Minimally invasive spine surgery is safer and faster compared to open spine surgery. It involves making a smaller incision, has a shorter recovery time, causes less damage to the muscles, and has a lower risk of infection.
• Spinal Fusion - The vertebrae, which are the bones in your spine, can become painful and stuck together to create one big, solid bone. To fix this, the soft cushion between the vertebrae, called the intervertebral disk, is taken out and replaced with a special bone spacer. This spacer contains material that helps your bones heal. Different ways to do this fusion  are Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion andTransforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion
• Artificial Disc Replacement - The spine is made up of bones called vertebrae, and there's a cushion-like structure called a disc between these bones. These discs help the bones move smoothly. If the disc gets damaged, it can be replaced with an artificial disc through surgery.
• Osteoporotic Spine Fracture Management - As we get older, our bones can become weak and more prone to fractures in the spine. When this happens due to osteoporosis, there are two ways to manage it - Nonsurgical and surgical treatments. If someone has a vertebral compression fracture, there are treatments that don't involve surgery. These include resting in bed for a short time, taking pain medication, and wearing a brace to limit movement in the injured area. These treatments can help the fracture heal. However, if these methods don't work, surgery might be needed to fix the spine fracture. 
• Kyphoplasty - An inflated balloon tamp is inserted into the fractured vertebra using a needle, effectively creating a space within. Subsequently, this space is filled with a specialised bone cement, fortifying and strengthening the vertebra.
• Vertebroplasty - Instead of utilising a balloon tamp, the affected vertebra is directly injected with cement for reinforcement.
• Spine Trauma - Spine fractures caused by accidents or falls are treated in two ways: non-surgical or surgical. If the spine is stable, we use non-surgical methods. If the spine is unstable, we opt for surgical stabilisation or fusion surgery. If the patient has a neurological injury along with the spine fracture, Dr. Rajesh Malhotra, a highly renowned specialist for spine, performs surgery to relieve pressure on the nerves while stabilising the spine.
