Endoscopic Spine Surgeries

Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive approach used to treat selected spinal conditions through a small incision. A specialised endoscope and surgical instruments are used to access the affected area while limiting disruption to surrounding tissues.

At Masters of Scopy, endoscopic spine procedures may be considered for suitable patients after evaluating the spinal condition, symptoms and overall health.

What Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?

Endoscopic spine surgery uses a small camera called an endoscope to provide a clear view of the spine through a small access point. Specialised instruments can then be used to treat the affected spinal area.

It may be considered for selected conditions such as:

• Slipped or herniated discs
• Nerve compression
• Spinal stenosis in selected cases
• Persistent pain caused by specific spinal problems

How Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery Performed?

The procedure is performed through a small incision using an endoscope and specialised instruments. The surgeon guides the instruments to the affected area and treats the source of nerve compression or other spinal problem as appropriate.

The exact technique depends on the location and nature of the spinal condition. Not every spine problem is suitable for endoscopic surgery.

Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery

When appropriate for the patient, endoscopic spine surgery may offer:

• Very small surgical incision
• Less disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues
• Potentially less postoperative discomfort
• Smaller scar
• Potentially faster recovery in suitable patients

Evaluation & Recovery

Before treatment, your doctor may recommend a neurological examination and imaging such as an MRI or CT scan to understand the spinal condition and determine whether endoscopic surgery is appropriate.

Recovery varies depending on the procedure and individual condition. Your medical team will provide guidance on activity, medicines, wound care and follow-up during recovery.

Are There Any Risks?

Like any spinal procedure, endoscopic spine surgery may involve risks such as infection, bleeding, nerve-related complications or recurrence of symptoms. Your surgeon will explain the potential risks based on your specific condition and procedure.
