What is Endoscopic Discectomy?
Endoscopic Discectomy is a modern surgical technique focused on removing herniated discs in the lower back.
The new procedure also has many benefits which are short recovery time, fewer incision points and lower risks compared to that of traditional open surgery. Insertion of a very thin and flexible tube with a camera allows the surgeon to have an accurate access to the lesion site so that he can effectively treat the intervertebral disc hernia and relieve pain.
In the case of intervertebral disc causing a hernia, the jelly like substance inside is pushed out and causes the surrounding nerves to be compressed causing pain, numbness and weakness in muscles. Such are commonly called sciatica. Endoscopic intervertebral disc ablation removes this protruding substance as a target, relieves nerves, and eliminates symptoms.

Benefits of Endoscopic Discectomy
There are many advantages of selecting Endoscopic Discectomy as opposed to others, even the traditional microdiscectomy:
- Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: The small incisions cause less damage to adjacent tissues and lessen post-operative discomfort.
- Quicker Recovery: Patients can frequently drive back home on the day of the operation or the next day, which allows them to resume normal activity early.
- Lower Risk of Complications: Minimally invasive and therefore reduces risk of infection and excessive bleeding.
- Improved Outcomes: Most patients experience greater satisfaction in pain reduction and functional recovery than through conventional open surgery.

The Endoscopic Discectomy Procedure
What can you expect during our endoscopic discectomy surgery?
The following is an overview of the procedure:
- Anaesthesia: Patients can get local anesthesia with general anesthesia or sedative for a smooth surgery experience.
- Incision: A small incision of 1 cm is made on the waist to get access to the herniated disc.
- Using the Endoscope: Pass an endoscope through the incision and clearly see the herniated intervertebral plate on the screen.
- Disk Removal: Remove the intervertebral disc of the problematic section with the help of a special instrument and ease the pressure on the nearby nerve.
- Closure: The wound is stitched up and sealed with adhesive tape and no scars are present.
How long does the endoscopic discectomy surgery take?
Depending on the case, the operation time may take around 1-2 hours and is therefore convenient to most patients.
Recovery from Endoscopic Discectomy
Restoration of endoscopic disc ablation is quicker compared to conventional surgery.
The recovery process is as follows:
- Outpatient Procedure: Most patients may be sent home the day of.
- Pain Management: Control pain with medication to allow for comfort in the recovery process.
- Activity Restrictions: Activities may be limited at first, but patients can gradually resume normal life.
- Follow-Up Care: Watch for progress in recovery by frequent appointments and keep an eye on possible complications.

Endoscopic Discectomy vs. Microdiscectomy
In contrast to endoscopic intervertebral disc cleavage, comparison with micro intervertebral disc ablation is necessary. Both the operations are intended to mitigate pain caused by intervertebral hernia, but the way they do it is different:
- Microdiscectomy: It is a bigger incision procedure that would cause tissue damage and would take long to recover.
- Endoscopic Discectomy: This is a procedure that is performed using a smaller incision, which reduces the damage to the tissues, pain and reduces the time of recovery.
Therefore, most patients usually favor endoscopic intervertebral ablation because of its minimally invasive characteristic and advantages.
Laser Spine Surgery Alternative
Endoscopic discectomy is also a desirable option compared to laser spinal surgery. Laser surgery can be successful, but one cannot remove intervertebral hernia tissue completely as with endoscopic technology. Our endoscopic spinal surgery unites excellent visualization methods with selective removal to obtain more successful outcomes in most cases.
Endoscopic Discectomy Risks
Like any surgery, endoscopic Discectomy carries some risk. These risks are:
- Infection
- Damage to nerves
- Sclerosis
- Inability to eliminate intervertebral disc hernia, which results in persistence of the symptoms
These risks have to be discussed with surgeons thoroughly and informed choices have to be made about the treatment options.
