Endoscopic Spine Treatment is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat spinal conditions, especially those causing back or leg pain. It uses a small camera (endoscope) inserted through a tiny incision, allowing surgeons to treat problems in the spine with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
✅ Conditions Treated with Endoscopic Spine Surgery:
Herniated discs
Spinal stenosis
Sciatica
Degenerative disc disease
Foraminal narrowing
Disc tears or bulges
Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)
🔍 How the Procedure Works:
Local anesthesia or sedation is given (general anesthesia not always needed).
A small incision (less than 1 cm) is made near the spine.
The surgeon inserts an endoscope to view the spine on a monitor.
Surgical tools are used through the same incision to remove disc material, bone spurs, or other compressing structures.
The area is closed with a stitch or bandage, often without the need for hospitalization.
🌟 Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery:
✅ Minimal incision, less tissue damage
✅ Less blood loss
✅ Shorter recovery time
✅ Same-day discharge in most cases
✅ Fewer complications than traditional open surgery
✅ Quick return to daily activities
🕐 Recovery Time:
Most patients walk the same day.
Return to work: 1–3 weeks (depending on job type).
Full recovery in 4–6 weeks, much faster than traditional spine surgery.
