Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive technique for treating spinal problems through a very small skin incision — typically less than one centimetre. A thin tube called a cannula is guided to the affected area under X-ray guidance, and a high-definition camera (endoscope) is passed through it so the surgeon can work with miniature instruments on a monitor. It is most commonly used to treat herniated discs, lumbar or foraminal stenosis, and selected cervical disc problems, particularly when nerve compression is causing radiating pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm or leg. Compared with traditional open surgery, the approach involves less muscle damage, lower blood loss, and a faster recovery — many patients are walking within hours and discharged the same day or after one night. Suitable candidates are selected carefully based on MRI and CT imaging, symptom pattern, and the surgeon's experience with the specific endoscopic technique.
Removal of a herniated disc fragment through a single small incision using an endoscope, relieving pressure on the nerve without removing significant bone.
