A Minimally Invasive Breakthrough at Geetanjali Hospital, Jaipur
The Daily Guardian
|August 05, 2025
Monoportal Endoscopic Cervical Spine Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows surgeons to treat cervical spine conditions through a small (6–8 mm) incision using a single portal endoscope.
Unlike traditional open spine surgeries, this procedure preserves the natural anatomy of the spine, avoids implants and fusion in selected cases, and allows for faster recovery, minimal blood loss, and reduced hospital stays.
This technique is particularly effective for patients suffering from cervical disc herniation, nerve root compression, or degenerative cervical spine disease, where the goal is to relieve nerve pressure without disrupting the structural integrity of the spine.
Geetanjali Hospital Achieves Milestone with Successful Implant-Free Cervical Spine Surgery
In a first-of-its-kind success in Rajasthan, Geetanjali Hospital, Jaipur recently performed a Monoportal Endoscopic Cervical Spine Surgery without the use of spinal implants or fusion. The patient, Mamta Goyal, a 47-year-old resident of Jaipur, had been struggling with debilitating radiating pain in her right arm due to cervical disc compression. Her daily life had become dependent on painkiller injections, and multiple hospitals had suggested conventional surgeries involving implants and fusion.
However, upon consulting Dr. Dheeraj Vishwakarma, Associate Professor Neurosurgery at Geetanjali Hospital, she was offered a more advanced and less invasive solution. Through a single-stitch, endoscopic approach, the surgical team relieved the nerve compression without altering the spine’s natural biomechanics.
