Percutaneous / Awake Procedures

Introduction

At Revive Ortho Spine Centre, we believe in offering the safest, least invasive, and most effective treatments for spinal conditions. Percutaneous / Awake Procedures are advanced minimally invasive techniques performed through small skin punctures, often under local anaesthesia, allowing patients to remain awake throughout the procedure.

These modern methods reduce surgical risks, shorten recovery time, and provide effective relief for spine-related pain and disorders.

Why Choose Percutaneous / Awake Procedures?

Minimally invasive – no large incisions required.
Patient remains awake – no general anaesthesia needed.
Reduced risks – fewer complications compared to traditional surgery.
Faster recovery – patients can often return home the same day.
Less pain and scarring – quicker healing and improved comfort.

Conditions Treated with Percutaneous Procedures

These techniques are particularly effective for:

Herniated or slipped discs
Nerve compression
Chronic lower back pain
Facet joint pain
Sciatica and related nerve pain
Disc degeneration and disc bulges
