Endoscopic Spine Surgery is a modern, minimally invasive technique for treating spinal problems like slipped discs, spinal stenosis, nerve compression, and certain types of back and leg pain.
Instead of a large incision, the surgeon uses a tiny skin cut (often less than 1 cm) to insert a high-definition camera (endoscope) and specialized surgical instruments directly to the problem area. This allows the surgeon to see the spine structures on a screen and perform precise work without disturbing much of the surrounding muscles or tissues.
Key Features
- Small incision – typically 8–10 mm
- Minimal muscle damage – less pain after surgery
- Local or general anesthesia – sometimes done under local for faster recovery
- Day-care or short hospital stay – often discharged within 24 hours
- Faster rehabilitation – most patients walk the same or next day
