Endoscopic spine surgery is a type of state of the art surgery that uses small tubular system or micro incisions, assisted with an endoscope for visualization. This type of minimally invasive spine surgery provides patients with quicker recovery and less pain than traditional spine surgery. Endoscopic spine surgery preserves normal spine movement because the spine is not fused with screws and rods.
The advantages of this procedure are:
- Microscopic incision
- Minimal or no blood loss
- Immediate recovery
- Reduced pain
- Preservation of spinal mobility
- Mostly local anesthesia used
- Same day surgery
- High success rate
- Improved quality of life
- No removal of muscle or bone
