3D+4K 55’’endospine surgery for slipped disc, sciatica now available in Odisha, which is 1st in World

Bhubaneswar : The two most common and painful ailments of the spinal cord and vertebrae-slipped disc and sciatica could now be successfully operated on with very less pain, and cuts, said Dr PC Dey ,noted endoscopic surgeon and orthopaedician, Modern Ortho clinic, Nayapalli, Bhubaneswar. Dr Dey said that the advanced 3D+4K 55’’ endospine surgery is now available in Odisha, which is 1^st in world. It is considered as a minimally invasive technique.  

Dr Dey said that with the advent of advanced medical science like 3D+4K 55’’ endovision system, the treatment and surgeries of such diseases could be done with minimally invasive techniques. Such techniques ensure lesser blood loss during treatment, smaller cuts or holes for surgeries and faster recovery of the patients. Dr Dey has already done more than 3000 such cases in the last 17 year. He started his Carrier as Endospine surgeon on 2007 after taking the training from the  technique pioneer Dr John Destandau of France. He has also installed  3D Endovision System  on 8^th January 2022in Bhubaneswar,Odisha  and  operated around 300 cases successfully with far better visualization and Depth perception .which gives  Inox Cinema like 3D picture and could reduce the complications to absolutely Minimal. On  11^th August 2024  He Installed the Ultimate endovision System of the world the 3D +4K 55’’ Endospine tool at Bhubaneswar , Odisha and operated 35 cases till date  .He said such technology has been introduced for the first time in Odisha and is 1st in the world.

These two diseases are often the main causes of the commonly seen problem of back pain among the population. In most of these cases the nerves are compressed, leading to pain that grows radially. Sometimes it even leads to numbness and tingling of the foot and other health hazards when not diagnosed and treated timely. 

“Back pain is almost the most common complaint heard in the present century. Apart from being common, it is also quite painful, distressing and causes limitations in day-to-day activities. It is estimated that 77% of the population presents with back pain and 35% with sciatica at least once during their lifetime. With the advent of M.R.I, the cause of back pain is diagnosed very early and almost 100% accurately. One such hands on training programme is being held from 3rd to 5th October 2024,” said Dr Dey, Vice President to WESS -world Endoscopic spine Society. Dr Dey is the pioneer in Endospine  surgery  in Odisha  and one of the pioneers in the world. He learnt this noble technique directly from the pioneer Dr. Jean Destandau from  France.

He also added that endoscopic spine surgery is the latest management trend for back pain issues. Dr Dey himself has done around 3,000 such surgeries with this technique. “It achieves almost 100% success indiagnosis and many fold accuracy in operative goals than traditional procedures like open or micro spine surgeries,” he said. 

Dr Dey explained that under this technique, a small incision of around 16 m -18mm is made on their patients under this surgery. “Endoscopic equipment like a 4 mm 3D+4K camera ,light, and a 55 inches  monitor are used to see deeper structures which are almost 80 to 100 times magnified, so diagnosis could be possible in a far better way. The pain-causing nerve points inside the body like disc material, pathological bony projections and thickened ligaments could be removed quite accurately with this technique. This aids in decompression of the parts of the affected nerves. Such surgeries are often the least painful compared to conventional surgeries, including large cuts, surgeries, and long hospitalizations,” he said. 

“In endoscopic spinal surgeries, the patient can walk to the toilets within 3-4 hours post surgery and go home the next day itself. This surgery gives the patients the least pain and cuts, and its recovery time is much faster. After such surgeries with this technique, there is hardly any chance of relapse of the disease,” Dr Dey said.

In August 2024 Dr Dey has visited Tianjen, China to participate in PASMISS congress and In Sept 2024 he visited Homburg, Germany to train the young surgeon  in Cadaveric  training program and delivered his research at homburg university and attended the ISMISS . In October 2024 he is going to Gandhinagar for MISSAB and train the young surgeons . At regular intervals, Dr Dey has been arranging training programmes and conferences at national and international levels on Endospine. He is also part of the WESS (World Endoscopic Spine  Society) Congress and uses the forum to train the  Ortho & Neurosurgeons of India and other countries. He also visits different parts of India & Abroad to train the Neuro and Ortho Surgeons frequently .One such hands on training programme is being held from 3rd to 5th October 2024,”in cadavers at KIMS and live Surgery at KIDS.
