Endoscopic discectomy

Endoscopic discectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique that utilizes an endoscope to treat herniated, protruded, extruded, or degenerative discs that are a contributing factor to leg and back pain.

#

Advantages:

The endoscope allows the Interventionist to use a “keyhole” incision to access the herniated disc.
NO NEED TO OPEN UP THE SPINE

Muscle and tissue are dilated when accessing the disc. This leads to less tissue destruction, less postoperative pain, quicker recovery times, earlier rehabilitation, and avoidance of general anesthesia.
NO NEED TO CUT THE BONES AND MUSCLES.

The excellent visualization via the endoscope permits the Interventionist to selectively remove a portion of the herniated nucleus pulposus that is contributing to the patients’ leg and back pain.
NO NEED TO REMOVE THE HEALTHY PORTION OF DISC

The procedure is performed in a day care setting. This procedure is done under local Anesthesia and under Fluoroscopy and endoscopic guidance.
NO HOSPITALIZATION IS NEEDED.
