Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Revolutionizing Spine Surgery with Minimally Invasive Techniques
At ONUS Hospitals, we specialize in Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS)—a minimally invasive surgical technique designed to treat spinal disorders with greater precision, less pain, and faster recovery. By utilizing advanced endoscopic visualization and high-definition imaging, our experts ensure safer and more effective spinal treatments with minimal tissue disruption.
What is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?
Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS) is a modern minimally invasive procedure that uses a high-resolution endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light) to access and treat spinal conditions through a small incision. Unlike traditional open spine surgery, ESS causes minimal trauma to muscles and surrounding tissues, leading to reduced post-operative pain, faster healing, and shorter hospital stays.
Key Features of Endoscopic Spine Surgery at ONUS Hospitals
- Minimally Invasive – Small incisions, minimal muscle disruption
- High Precision – Real-time imaging for accurate surgery
- Faster Recovery – Less blood loss, reduced hospital stay
- Less Pain & Fewer Complications – Lower risk of infections and post-operative discomfort
- Outpatient Procedure – Many cases are performed as same-day surgeries
Conditions Treated with Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Our expert spine surgeons use ESS to treat various spinal conditions, including:
- Herniated Disc (Slipped Disc) – Removing the herniated portion to relieve nerve compression
- Spinal Stenosis – Decompressing the spinal canal to reduce nerve pressure
- Sciatica & Nerve Compression – Relieving sciatic nerve pain caused by disc problems
- Degenerative Disc Disease – Treating pain and instability from worn-out spinal discs
- Spinal Tumors & Infections – Minimally invasive removal of spinal growths
- Facet Joint Syndrome – Treating arthritis and inflammation in spinal joints
How Endoscopic Spine Surgery is Performed
Step-by-Step Procedure
- Minimal Incision: A small incision (less than 1 cm) is made near the affected spinal area.
- Insertion of Endoscope: A specialized high-resolution camera (endoscope) is inserted, providing a magnified view of the spinal structures.
- Precision Instrumentation: Miniature surgical instruments are introduced through the endoscope to remove or repair damaged tissue.
- Real-Time Imaging: The procedure is guided by fluoroscopy (live X-ray) and advanced imaging for enhanced accuracy.
- Closure & Recovery: Once the surgery is complete, the incision is closed with minimal stitches, and patients can often return home the same day.
