Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to address various spine conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and certain degenerative diseases. It involves the use of a specialized endoscope, a thin tube equipped with a camera and light, which allows the surgeon to access the spine through small incisions, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Key Features of Endoscopic Spine Surgery:
Minimally Invasive:
Small incisions (usually less than 1 cm).
Minimal disruption to muscles and ligaments.
Precision:
High-definition camera provides a clear view of the surgical area.
Real-time visualization allows precise removal of problematic tissues.
Outpatient Procedure:
Many ESS procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis, reducing hospital stay.
Faster Recovery:
Less postoperative pain.
Shorter rehabilitation period compared to traditional open surgery.
Conditions Treated:
Herniated or bulging discs.
Spinal stenosis.
Sciatica or radiculopathy.
Degenerative disc disease.
