Endoscopic Spine Surgery with PSLD Approach By Dr. Kaushal Deep Singh in Aligarh

Are you experiencing chronic back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis or a herniated disc? If so, you may be a candidate for endoscopic spine surgery using the Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression (PSLD) approach. This minimally invasive procedure offered by Dr. Kaushal Deep Singh in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh,has significant advantages over traditional open spine surgery.

What is Endoscopic Spine Surgery with PSLD?

Endoscopic spine surgery with PSLD is a cutting-edge technique that uses a small incision and an endoscope (a thin, lighted tube) to visualise and access the affected area of your lumbar spine. Through the endoscope, specialised surgical instruments are used to remove bone spurs, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy (thickening), and herniated disc fragments that compress nerves and cause pain.

Benefits of the PSLD Approach:

Minimally invasive: PSLD avoids extensive muscle dissection and ligament damage associated with traditional open surgery, leading to quicker recovery and less postoperative pain.
Preserve spinal structures: The PSLD approach aims to preserve facet joints and healthy bone structures whenever possible, promoting long-term spinal stability.
Faster recovery: Due to the minimally invasive nature of minimally invasive surgery, patients typically experience a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to normal activities compared to open surgery.
Reduced blood loss: Smaller incisions result in less blood loss during surgery.
Improved visualisation: The endoscope provides magnified views of the surgical field, allowing for greater precision and minimising the risk of complications.

Who is a Candidate for PSLD?

PSLD is a suitable option for patients suffering from:

Lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
Foraminal stenosis (compression of nerve roots exiting the spinal canal)
Herniated disc causing radicular pain (pain radiating down the leg)
Degenerative spondylolisthesis (mild slippage of a vertebra)

What to Expect with PSLD Surgery

Pre-operative consultation: Your doctor will discuss your medical history and symptoms and perform a physical examination to determine if PSLD is the right approach for you. Imaging tests like X-rays and MRI scans will be used to diagnose the specific condition and plan the surgery.
Procedure: The surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia. A small incision is made in your back, and the endoscope is inserted to visualise the affected area. Using specialised instruments, the surgeon removes the source of nerve compression. Fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray imaging) may be used to guide instrument placement.
Recovery: Most patients can go home the same day or the following day after surgery. Recovery time varies depending on the individual, but patients typically experience a significant reduction in pain within days or weeks. Physical therapy may be recommended to help regain strength and flexibility.
