Conditions Treated with Endoscopic Spine Surgery
At Khobragade Multispeciality Hospital, our experienced spine surgeons recommend endoscopic surgery for conditions such as:
- Herniated or slipped discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Lumbar or cervical spinal stenosis
- Sciatica caused by nerve compression
- Foraminal stenosis
- Spine infections or selected tumours
Procedure – How is Endoscopic Spine Surgery Performed?
Anaesthesia and Preparation: The patient is given local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia based on the case.
Small Incision: A tiny incision (approximately 8-10 mm) is made near the affected area.
Endoscope Insertion: A high-definition endoscope is inserted, giving the surgeon clear visuals of the spine structures.
Treatment: Using specialized micro-instruments, the surgeon removes the herniated disc material or decompresses the nerve.
Closure: The instruments are removed, and the small incision is closed with minimal stitches or surgical glue.
The procedure usually takes around 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity and number of levels involved.
Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery
✅ Minimally invasive – Smaller incision and reduced tissue damage
✅ Faster recovery – Early mobilization and discharge, often within 24 hours
✅ Less post-operative pain – Reduced dependence on pain medications
✅ Minimal blood loss – Safer for patients with anaemia or cardiac issues
✅ Lower infection risk – Due to minimal exposure of tissues
✅ Cosmetic advantage – Very small scars
