Endoscopic spine surgery is the least invasive and a highly effective procedure to correct a variety of spine problems and resolve back pain. Unlike traditional back surgery, endoscopic spine surgery does not require a hospital stay, general anesthesia, an incision that needs stitches and time to heal, or a long recovery. Endoscopic spine surgery also offers advantages over laser spine surgery,

Endoscopic spine surgery is used to treat:

  • Far lateral herniated disc.
  • Lumbar herniated disc.
  • Foraminal stenosis.
  • Discitis.
  • Annular disc tear.
  • Prior unsuccessful fusion surgery.

Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat various spinal conditions. It involves the use of an endoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light source, to access and visualize the spine. This approach allows for smaller incisions, reduced muscle and tissue damage, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Endoscopic spine surgery may be recommended for a range of spinal conditions, including:

Herniated discs: When a disc in the spine bulges or ruptures, causing pressure on nearby nerves, endoscopic surgery can be performed to remove or repair the affected disc.

Spinal stenosis: This condition involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots. Endoscopic surgery can be used to relieve the pressure and alleviate symptoms.

Spinal deformities: Certain spinal deformities, such as scoliosis or kyphosis, may be treated with endoscopic techniques to correct the alignment of the spine.

Spinal tumors: Endoscopic surgery can be used for the removal of certain spinal tumors or to obtain biopsies for diagnosis.

Facet joint syndrome: When the facet joints in the spine become inflamed or degenerated, endoscopic surgery can provide relief by removing or ablating the affected joint tissue.

Spinal instability: In cases of spinal instability, endoscopic surgery can be used to stabilize the spine through techniques such as fusion or implantation of spinal hardware.
