- What It Is
What Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny incisions, cameras, and specialized instruments to treat spinal problems with precision. It is usually recommended when non-surgical treatments fail.
This procedure can address:
Degenerative disc disease
Herniated discs
Sciatica
Spinal deformities like scoliosis
Spinal fractures
Infections
Tumors
Endoscopic surgery minimizes tissue damage, reduces pain, and allows for faster recovery compared to traditional spine surgery.
- Benefits
Key Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Minimally Invasive Approach
Small incisions reduce tissue disruption, allowing faster recovery than traditional spine surgery.
Shorter Procedure Time
The surgery is quicker and often avoids general anesthesia, reducing risks such as infection and complications.
Reduced Tissue Trauma
Endoscopic techniques limit damage to surrounding tissues, leading to smaller scars and less post-surgery discomfort.
Maintains Spinal Strength
This approach preserves the natural stability of the spine, unlike some traditional procedures that can compromise spinal integrity.
