Dr. Nikhil Arbatti – Spine Surgeon in Mumbai for Tubular Decompression

Minimally Invasive Treatment for Spinal Stenosis and Nerve Compression

What Is Tubular Decompression?

Tubular decompression is a minimally invasive spine surgery used to treat selected conditions that cause pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Through a small incision, the surgeon inserts a tubular retractor to access the affected area and carefully removes the tissue responsible for nerve compression.

Depending on the diagnosis, this may involve removing portions of thickened ligaments, bone, or other structures narrowing the spinal canal or nerve passageways.

The aim is to relieve nerve pressure, reduce related symptoms, and improve mobility when the underlying condition is suitable for surgery.

When Is Tubular Decompression Recommended?

Dr. Nikhil Arbatti may evaluate patients with:

  • Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerves.
  • Nerve Compression: Pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness caused by pressure on spinal nerves.
  • Persistent Leg Pain: Symptoms that continue despite appropriate non-surgical treatment.
  • Neurogenic Claudication: Leg pain or heaviness while standing or walking, often relieved by sitting.
  • Degenerative Spine Conditions: Changes in the spine that cause narrowing and nerve compression.

A clinical examination and appropriate imaging, including MRI when indicated, help determine whether tubular decompression is suitable.

Benefits of Tubular Decompression

When clinically indicated, potential benefits include:

  • Small incision and reduced muscle disruption.
  • Relief from disc-related nerve compression.
  • Potentially less postoperative discomfort.
  • Early mobilisation in suitable patients.
  • A shorter hospital stay in selected cases.
  • Gradual return to routine activities, depending on recovery.

Outcomes vary depending on the underlying condition, severity of nerve compression, and individual health.

How Is Tubular Decompression Performed?

The procedure generally involves:

  • 1

    Preoperative Assessment: Examination and imaging identify the site of nerve compression.
  • 2

    Small Incision: A small incision is made over the affected spinal level.
  • 3

    Tubular Access: A specialised retractor creates a narrow channel to the spine.
  • 4

    Disc ReNerve Decompression: Carefully selected bone or ligament tissue is removed to relieve pressure.moval: The surgeon removes the herniated disc material compressing the nerve.
  • 5

    Postoperative Care: The patient is monitored and receives personalised recovery instructions.

The exact technique depends on the affected spinal level and the patient’s condition.
