Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Endoscopic spine surgery is a modern, minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat various spinal conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression. Unlike traditional open spine surgery, this method uses a small incision through which a thin tube-like instrument called an endoscope is inserted. The endoscope is equipped with a camera and light source, allowing the surgeon to view the affected area on a screen with high precision.

One of the main advantages of endoscopic spine surgery is that it causes minimal damage to surrounding muscles and tissues. This results in reduced pain, less blood loss, and a lower risk of complications. Patients typically experience faster recovery times, shorter hospital stays, and can return to their daily activities much sooner compared to conventional surgery.

This procedure is often performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the condition. It is particularly beneficial for patients who have not responded well to conservative treatments like medication or physiotherapy.
