Mr Ivan Bhaskar

  Not every spine problem is simple. Some conditions involve changes to the shape of the spine, nerve pressure, spinal tumours or other issues that need careful planning.   Complex spine surgery may involve different surgical approaches depending on what is affecting the spine.   Some areas of complex spine care include:   Minimally invasive spine surgery   Robotic spine surgery   Spinal fusions   Treatment of spinal tumours   Surgery for scoliosis and kyphosis   Mr Ivan Bhaskar has extensive experience in complex spine surgery and fellowship training in this area. He uses both open and minimally invasive approaches for suitable conditions.   The right procedure depends on the condition and the needs of each patient. A specialist assessment is the place to start.   Connec t to know more!  

Minimally invasive spine surgery uses specific techniques to allow treatment of certain spine conditions through a smaller incision when compared to many of the traditional open techniques. This can be suitable for  certain disc prolapse, nerve compression, and degenerative conditions.   What Is Involved in a Minimal Invasive Spine Procedure? 1- Smaller incisions – Procedures will be performed through small incisions. 2- Reduced muscle trauma – The technique aims to reduce any damage to the muscles surrounding the spine. 3- Endoscopic/Minimally invasive techniques – Certain conditions may require an endoscopic or other minimal invasive technique. 4- Not suitable for everyone – Not all spinal problems can be treated this way. A minimally invasive spine surgery  will depend on your diagnosis, medical history, and what you wish to achieve.   Please contact the clinic for further information regarding minimally invasive spine surgery.
