Lumbar Spine Health and Advanced Treatments by Dr. Archit Goyal
The lumbar spine, located in the lower back, is vital for supporting body weight and facilitating movement. Injuries, degenerative conditions, infections, or other issues can greatly impact mobility and overall quality of life. Fortunately, advancements in spine surgery, such as minimally invasive techniques, have enhanced the treatment of lumbar spine conditions, resulting in improved outcomes and quicker recovery. Dr. Archit Goyal, a specialist in Advanced Spine Care, employs precise surgical methods to relieve pain, restore function, and promote overall spine health.
Key Lumbar Spine Treatments Offered by Dr. Archit Goyal:
1. Lumbar Microdiscectomy
It is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at treating herniated discs in the lower back. The surgery involves removing the small, herniated portion of the disc that presses on the nerve, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. Using smaller incisions and advanced techniques, lumbar microdiscectomy minimises tissue damage, reduces recovery time, and provides significant pain relief.
2. Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
TLIF is a surgical technique used to treat conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal instability. This procedure involves the complete removal of the damaged disc and its replacement with a bone graft or implant to restore disc height, along with posterior stabilisation and decompression of the neural elements. TLIF can be performed either openly or through a minimally invasive approach, which reduces tissue disruption, decreases blood loss, and promotes faster recovery. Stabilising the spine, relieving pain, decompressing the neural elements, and restoring proper alignment are the goals of this procedure.
3. Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF)
OLIF is a newer, minimally invasive spinal fusion technique that serves as an alternative to traditional posterior approaches. It involves accessing the spine through a smaller incision on the lateral side of the body, allowing surgeons to perform the surgery without disturbing the back’s muscles or nerves. This method is particularly beneficial for treating conditions like lumbar degenerative disc disease and spinal deformities, facilitating quicker recovery and minimising complications.
