Endoscopic
Spine Surgery
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique designed to treat various spinal conditions through an incision smaller than half an inch. Endoscopic spine surgery involves the use of a specialized endoscope—a thin tube with a camera and light source. This allows surgeons to access the spine with precision, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Surgical instruments can then be guided through the endoscope to address issues such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or other spinal abnormalities.

What are the advantages of endoscopic spine surgery?
- The advantage is the minimally invasive nature of the approach. Endoscopic approaches cause minimal soft tissue disruption and therefore lead to much less post-operative pain. This approach also allows us to decompress foraminal disc herniations without subjecting the patient to a spinal fusion.
Will I go home the same day of surgery?
- Most patients go home the same day after endoscopic spine surgery
Is endoscopic spine surgery the best choice?
- This depends upon a multitude of factors and the patient’s overall needs. The most important factor is the goal of surgery and the specific area we want to target with surgery. In some instances, endoscopic spine surgery may be the best approach and in other instances there may be a better approach.
