Biportal Endoscopy Surgery: Innovation for Spinal Problems

When it comes to surgical procedures, advances in medical technology have revolutionized the field, offering safer and more precise options for patients. One of the most innovative techniques in this field is Biportal Endoscopic Surgery. In this article, we'll explore in detail what this technique is, how it's performed, its applications, and the benefits it offers to patients.

What is biportal endoscopy?

Biportal endoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat certain spinal conditions. It is designed to address spinal problems through small incisions and reduce damage to surrounding tissues.

La tecnología endoscópica biportal permite realizar procedimientos quirúrgicos de la columna vertebral sin dañar la mayoría de los tejidos sensibles y críticos, incluyendo nervios, músculos y ligamentos. También permite una vista en tiempo real de la columna vertebral durante el procedimiento con mínimo sangrado.

Benefits and advantages of biportal endoscopy

Bipolar endoscopic spine surgery offers several benefits compared to traditional spinal surgery techniques. Some of the key benefits include:

• Less tissue damage: Due to smaller incisions and minimal manipulation of surrounding muscles and tissues, biportal endoscopy surgery reduces the risk of tissue damage.
• Faster recovery: Patients who undergo biportal endoscopic spine surgery often experience a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgeries. This is due to less tissue disruption and scarring.
• Less postoperative pain: Biportal endoscopic spine surgery typically causes less postoperative pain compared to traditional techniques. This is due to the less invasive nature of the procedure.
• Lower risk of complications: The minimally invasive technique used in biportal endoscopy surgery reduces the risk of surgical complications, such as infection and bleeding.

Indications and applications of biportal endoscopy

Biportal endoscopy of the spine has several indications and applications in the medical field. Below are some of the conditions in which this procedure may be beneficial:

Hernia discal

A herniated disc is a condition in which the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc shifts and compresses the nerves of the spine, which can cause severe pain and limited movement. Biportal endoscopy is used to treat herniated discs by removing damaged tissue and decompressing the affected nerves, thereby relieving the patient's symptoms.

Spinal stenosis

Spinal stenosis is an abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal that can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, causing pain and weakness in the extremities. Biportal endoscopy is used to perform a minimally invasive laminectomy, in which bone and tissue compressing the nerves are removed, thereby relieving the symptoms of spinal stenosis.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a spinal deformity characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature. In mild to moderate cases, biportal endoscopy can be used to correct the curvature by placing devices and performing minimally invasive osteotomies.

Spondylolisthesis

Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra slips forward over the adjacent vertebra. Biportal endoscopy can be used to perform a minimally invasive spinal fusion, stabilizing the affected vertebrae and relieving the patient's symptoms.

Importance of consulting a spine specialist

It's important to emphasize that biportal endoscopy is a highly specialized procedure, and not all patients are candidates for this minimally invasive surgery. As with any surgical procedure, it's important to assess each case individually and establish a treatment plan tailored to each patient.
