Hello,
The technological growth in the medical field, how has it made its way into spine surgeries? That is what we will be talking about. There is no field without technological growth. Consider mobile phones. 20 years ago the phone we used was so big. Now, using that phone we are able to do several things. Even in cars, there are automatic cars. In such a situation, in the medical field in the past 10 -15 years there has been a lot of improvement.
What is the growth in technology needed for? What is the use of growth of technology in the field of medical science? Is this needed for us? Do we have to spend more because of this?
We will be talking about this today. If you consider technology in the medical field, it was used a lot initially in diagnostics. How can a disease be diagnosed?
There was a lot of development in diagnosing diseases accurately. Nowadays development is more when doing a surgery or a procedure, technology is useful for us. The reason is useful for us is, if we do an open surgery, if we do a big operation the traditional way there can be many problems or complications that can arise in it. Irrespective of how carefully we do the surgery there can be certain complications. In reducing the complications, technology is very useful.
If you consider spine surgery, safety and accuracy of spine surgery is very important. In the brain or in the nerve the slightest error can cause permanent damage. For those reasons technology has been very helpful.
How has this technology developed? In order to do the surgery safely, we use the X-Ray equipment.
Using X-rays, we can find where exactly the operation should be done. We find that and do the operation accurately. Now even this X-ray is like how we add certain tools, using a special equipment called 'navigation' very accurately to a few millimetres the operation can be done. As a result of this, getting paralysis, chances of complications are reduced. The operation can be done without affecting the nerves in any way.
Secondly, neuro monitoring. So this neuro monitoring, when operating on the spine nerves or the spinal cord without any trouble, helps do the surgery accurately without touching the nerves. Throughout the duration of the operation this will keep monitoring the nerves. It will travel like an electrical impulse through the nerves. As a result of this, if the nerves are touched it will indicate and we will stop the procedure. This is an important technology. Over and above this robotics has grown greatly in the field.
So when technology is in place, many people tend to think that it is very expensive, we cannot afford it, if we go to the hospital we would have to spend a lot because of the technology used.
Surely as technology develops cost increases. But accuracy and safety are more important. Alongside the development of technology, new techniques have also developed. So, keyhole surgery, minimally invasive spine surgery is done a lot these days. The reason we are able to use it is through a small hole, through a microscope using the navigation, with the help of neuro monitoring very accurately, tumour, infection or a disc problem all these can be operated on. By doing this operation, patients will be able to get up and walk quickly.
Since we do keyhole surgery, there is not much blood loss, the patient can get discharged quickly from the hospital, expenses will be less, they can return to work much earlier, they can return to normal life sooner.
So, technology has developed, surely it is going to develop further in the future and cost will be slightly higher, but there would be no compromise in safety and accuracy.
