Endoscopic Surgery
Minimized Precision
Endoscopic spine surgery uses camera visualization technology and thin instruments to treat conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Through a minimal incision (~1 cm), the surgeon inserts an endoscope that allows visualization and removal of structures that compress nerves, such as disc fragments or bone tissue.
The procedure is less invasive than open surgery, preserving muscles and tissues, resulting in less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and a virtually imperceptible scar.
First 24–48 hours: Quick hospital discharge, mild postoperative pain.
Weeks 1–2: Return to simple activities.
Weeks 4–6: Active physiotherapy for strengthening.
3 months: Most patients recover full function.
