During the procedure, the surgeon views a high-definition monitor that displays real-time images of the spine. This allows for precise navigation and treatment of the affected area with minimal damage to surrounding muscles and tissues. Spine endoscopy is commonly used to address conditions such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis. The benefits include a smaller incision, reduced blood loss, less post-operative pain, and a faster recovery time, with many patients returning to their normal activities much sooner.
Endoscopy
Spine endoscopy is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat various spinal conditions. Unlike traditional open surgery that requires large incisions and muscle disruption, spine endoscopy uses a small, flexible tube called an endoscope, equipped with a camera and light. The surgeon makes a tiny incision, often less than one centimeter, to insert the endoscope and specialized micro-instruments.
