Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique use to treat various spine conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and other spinal disorders. Unlike traditional open spine surgery that requires a larger incision and muscle dissection, endoscopic procedures involve smaller incisions and the use of specialized instruments and an endoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera.
Endoscopic spine surgery can be used to address a range of spine conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, foraminal stenosis, facet joint arthritis, and some types of spinal tumors.Due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure and reduce trauma to surrounding tissues, patients may experience a faster recovery compare to traditional open spine surgery. Therefore,This can lead to a quicker return to normal activities.
