What is Endoscopic Diskectomy
Endoscopic diskectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat herniated disks in the spine. The procedure is performed through a small incision in the back, using an endoscope to visualize the affected area. During the procedure, the surgeon will make a small incision in the back and insert an endoscope, which is a thin tube with a light and camera at the end. The endoscope is used to view the affected area and guide the surgeon in the removal of the herniated disk. The herniated portion of the disk is then removed through the endoscope, relieving pressure on the spinal nerves and reducing pain. Endoscopic diskectomy has several advantages over traditional open diskectomy surgery. Because it is a minimally invasive procedure, it typically involves less pain, scarring and recovery time than traditional surgery. Additionally, endoscopic diskectomy is less likely to damage surrounding tissue, which can lead to a faster recovery. Patients who undergo endoscopic diskectomy
