Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is performed through small incisions using specialized endoscopic tools and techniques. The goal of endoscopic spine surgery is to alleviate pain and improve function by accessing the spine through small incisions, rather than traditional open surgery. There are several types of endoscopic spine surgery that may be used depending on the specific condition and location of the spine problem. Some of the common types of endoscopic spine surgery include: Endoscopic Discectomy: This procedure is used to treat herniated discs by removing the damaged portion of the disc that is pressing on a nerve root or spinal cord. The procedure is performed through a small incision, and a small endoscope is used to visualize and remove the disc material. Endoscopic Foraminotomy: This procedure is used to treat spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal canal that can cause nerve compression and pain. The endoscope is used to access the foramen, which is the opening through which the nerve root exits the spinal canal, and remove any bone or tissue that is compressing the nerve. Endoscopic Facet Rhizotomy: This procedure is used to treat facet joint pain, which can be caused by arthritis or degeneration of the facet joints in the spine. The endoscope is used to visualize and treat the nerves that transmit pain signals from the facet joint. Endoscopic Spinal Fusion: This procedure is used to stabilize the spine by fusing two or more vertebrae together. The endoscope is used to place bone graft or other materials between the vertebrae, which encourages them to fuse together over time. Endoscopic spine surgery is a rapidly evolving field, and new techniques and procedures are constantly being developed. Your surgeon will determine the most appropriate type of endoscopic spine surgery for your specific condition based on a thorough evaluation and diagnostic imaging tests.
