Spinal Stenosis Treatment in Sugar Land, TX

Minimally Invasive Relief from Nerve and Spinal Cord Compression by Dr. Rajesh Bindal

Spinal stenosis is a condition that occurs when the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. It can affect the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) spine. At Texas Spine & Neurosurgery, Dr. Rajesh Bindal, a board-certified neurosurgeon in Sugar Land, TX, specializes in both non-surgical and surgical treatments, including minimally invasive spine surgery for spinal stenosis.

What Causes Spinal Stenosis?

Spinal stenosis is commonly caused by age-related degenerative changes, such as:

  • Bone spurs (osteophytes)
  • Thickening of spinal ligaments
  • Bulging or herniated discs
  • Degenerative spondylolisthesis (slippage of vertebrae)

In some cases, individuals are born with a congenitally narrow spinal canal (congenital stenosis), making them more prone to symptoms even with mild degeneration. Genetic predisposition can also play a role.

Surgical Treatment for Spinal Stenosis

When symptoms persist or worsen, surgical decompression is often required. The procedure involves:

  • Removing bone spurs, thickened ligaments, and disc material
  • Widening the spinal canal to relieve pressure on nerves and the spinal cord
  • Referred to as laminectomy or laminoplasty, depending on the spinal region and condition

In cases of spinal instability (such as spondylolisthesis), spinal fusion may also be performed to stabilize the spine.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery for Spinal Stenosis

Dr. Rajesh Bindal and his team have performed more minimally invasive lumbar spine surgeries than any other practice in the Greater Houston Area. Benefits of this approach include:

  • Smaller incisions and less tissue disruption
  • Lower post-operative pain and faster recovery
  • Shorter hospital stays, often outpatient or one-night stays
  • Reduced blood loss and infection risk

Whenever possible, Dr. Bindal uses minimally invasive techniques to treat spinal stenosis while preserving spinal stability and function.
