Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat various spinal conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal tumors, and spinal instability. Unlike traditional open spine surgery, which requires larger incisions and more tissue disruption, endoscopic spine surgery involves the use of specialized instruments and an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at the tip.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions in the skin and inserts the endoscope and other surgical instruments through these openings. The endoscope provides a magnified view of the inside of the spine, allowing the surgeon to visualize the affected area and perform the necessary surgical procedures with precision.

Endoscopic spine surgery offers several potential benefits compared to traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, reduced muscle and tissue damage, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. Additionally, it may result in less postoperative pain and scarring for patients. However, not all spinal conditions are suitable for endoscopic surgery, and the decision to undergo this procedure should be made in consultation with a spine specialist and we will cater a individualised treatment for you.
