Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Endoscopic Spine Surgery in Mukundapur

Endoscopic spine surgery is an advanced ultra-minimally invasive procedure used for treating a range of spinal disorders and conditions. Unlike traditional open surgeries that require muscle dissection through larger incisions, endoscopic spine surgery is performed with much smaller incisions, thus minimizing tissue disruption. This surgery is performed using an endoscope, which is a thin, tube-like device that has a camera attached with it to provide the surgeon with real-time image guidance.

How it Works

Endoscopic spine surgery is carried out either under regional or general anaesthesia, depending on the condition of the patient. In unilateral Endoscopic one and in Biportal endoscopy (UBE) two small incisions, usually between 8-10 millimetre are made and through it the endoscope and operating instruments are inserted. The camera attached with the endoscope provides real-time magnified imaging guidance to the surgeon that helps them to operate carefully on the affected site.

Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Compared to traditional open spine surgeries, endoscopic spine surgery offers a number of benefits:

  • Smaller incisions: Endoscopic spine surgery is performed with small incisions measuring between 8-10mm, resulting in minimal scarring due to less tissue disruption. 

  • Less pain: Less damage to surrounding tissue and muscle leads to less post-surgical pain 

  • Short hospital stays: This procedure usually requires a brief hospital stay, with patients getting discharged within 1-2 days. 

  • Faster recovery: Many patients undergoing this procedure can start light activities within a few days and return to normal lifestyle in just a few weeks. 

  • Fewer complications: Smaller incisions lead to lesser blood loss, significantly reducing the risk of infections. 

  • Better patient outcomes: Individuals who underwent this procedure have reported significant reduction in chronic pain and discomfort, with an allover improved quality of life.
