Endoscopic spine surgery is a revolutionary minimally invasive technique that allows surgeons to treat spinal problems through a small incision using a high-definition endoscope. This advanced procedure is ideal for patients suffering from chronic back pain, sciatica, slip disc (herniated disc), and spinal stenosis who want faster recovery and less postoperative discomfort.
🔍 Types of Endoscopic Spine Surgery:
(1) Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy (TFED) – Performed from the side to remove herniated disc material pressing on spinal nerves.
(2) Interlaminar Endoscopic Discectomy – Done from the back, commonly for lower lumbar disc herniations.
(3) Endoscopic Decompression – For treating lumbar canal stenosis by removing thickened ligaments or bone spurs.
✅ Key Advantages:
- Minimal incision (1 cm or less)
- Less blood loss and muscle damage
- Shorter hospital stay (often same-day discharge)
- Reduced need for pain medications
- Quick return to work and daily activities
- Better cosmetic results with minimal scarring
