What is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?
- Minimally invasive with small incisions
- Uses advanced imaging and endoscopic optics
- Improves spine mobility with minimal risk
ESS is effective for treating various spinal disorders, providing a safer and quicker alternative to traditional spine surgery.
How Endoscopic Spine Surgery is Performed
Before surgery, local anesthesia is administered to minimize pain. A tubular trocar is inserted through small incisions, and a tiny camera displays real-time images to guide the surgeon. The procedure can follow one of two approaches:
- Intralaminar approach
- Transforaminal approach
Benefits of ESS
Endoscopic Spine Surgery offers multiple advantages over conventional spine surgery.
Minimally Invasive
Small incisions reduce trauma to skin, muscles, and soft tissues, leading to less blood loss and faster recovery.
Quicker Recovery
The procedure typically takes about one hour, and patients experience reduced post-operative discomfort and faster rehabilitation.
Precise Treatment
Hyper-targeting of the surgical site with advanced imaging ensures better outcomes and minimal complications.
Reduced Pain
Minimized tissue cutting and precise intervention lead to less pain during and after surgery compared to traditional methods.
