Endoscopic discectomy is a minimally invasive surgical treatment that is used to remove herniated disc material that is causing discomfort in the lower back and legs (lumbar), the mid back (thoracic), or the neck and arms (neck and arms) (cervical).
The least intrusive and most successful surgical approach for treating spinal disc herniation patients is endoscopic discectomy. Endoscopic spine surgery eliminates the need for doctors to remove bones and muscles to remove bulging discs. Through a tiny surgical port, surgeons may observe the spine with a camera that is smaller than a smart phone camera (tube). The use of large incisions is avoided. Traditional spine procedures cause harm to your spine, but this method does not. A disc herniation surgery takes roughly 30 minutes to complete.
The patient goes home in 2-3 hours when the surgery is done in a surgery center.
