2. Spinal decompression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_decompression

   Spinal decompression is the relief of pressure on the spinal cord or on one or more compressed nerve roots passing through or exiting the spinal column. [1] Decompression of the spinal neural elements is a key component in treating spinal radiculopathy , myelopathy and claudication .

3. Image-guided surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image-guided_surgery

   Image guided surgery systems use cameras, ultrasonic, electromagnetic or a combination of fields to capture and relay the patient's anatomy and the surgeon's precise movements in relation to the patient, to computer monitors in the operating room or to augmented reality headsets (augmented reality surgical navigation technology).

4. Computer-assisted surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-assisted_surgery

   The application of robotic surgery is widespread in orthopedics, especially in routine interventions, like total hip replacement [11] or pedicle screw insertion during spinal fusion. [12] It is also useful in pre-planning and guiding the correct anatomical position of displaced bone fragments in fractures, allowing a good fixation by ...

5. Piezoelectric surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_surgery

   It is indicated for use in oral, maxillofacial, cranial and spinal procedures; [citation needed] but is mainly used in orthodontics and craniofacial surgery. [3] By adjusting the ultrasonic frequency of the device, it is possible to cut hard tissue while leaving soft tissue untouched by the process. The ultrasonic frequency is modulated from 10 ...

6. Therapeutic ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_ultrasound

   Ultrasound can ablate tumors or other tissue non-invasively. [4] This is accomplished using a technique known as high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), also called focused ultrasound surgery. This procedure uses generally lower frequencies than medical diagnostic ultrasound (250–2000 kHz), but significantly higher time-averaged intensities.

7. Minimally invasive spine surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_spine...

   There are many spinal procedures that make use of minimally invasive techniques. They can involve cutting away tissue (), fixing adjacent vertebrae to one another (spinal fusion), and replacing bone or other tissue.The main philosophy is least bloods, tissue damage, and keep bone/tissue architecture The name of the procedure often includes the region of the spine that is operated on, including ...
