Endoscopic Spine Decompression is a highly advanced minimally invasive spine procedure designed to relieve pressure on compressed spinal nerves. It is performed using a small endoscopic camera and specialized micro-instruments inserted through a tiny incision. The magnified high-definition view allows the surgeon to precisely remove the disc fragment, thickened ligament, or bone spur that is causing nerve compression. This technique results in minimal muscle damage, less blood loss, reduced pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open spine surgery.
Endoscopic Spine Decompression is commonly performed for lumbar disc herniation (slipped disc), sciatica, spinal canal stenosis, foraminal stenosis, and nerve root compression. It is ideal for patients who continue to experience leg pain, numbness, or weakness despite medications and physiotherapy.
The procedure uses high-definition endoscopic visualization with continuous saline irrigation, providing a clear and magnified surgical field. This allows accurate removal of the compressive pathology while protecting nearby nerves and spinal structures, ensuring safer outcomes and faster recovery.
