Endoscopy
has taken over the field of surgery with its capability to simplify
even complicated surgeries. Spine surgeries are considered to be
complicated but with the advent of endoscopy or more precisely, microendoscopic surgery, they have been simplified. Initially
endoscopy was used in for diagnosis only. Later with the
technological advancement, they shifted to be the most common
procedure of minimally invasive surgeries. Micro endoscopic surgeries
are usually done with the help of a tiny video camera connected to
the end of a tube-like scope, known as endoscope.
In the case of micro endoscopic spine surgeries, the endoscope is inserted to the spinal area through small incisions created near it. The doctors can then view the area on a screen with the images transmitted from the camera on the endoscope. This view offers much more clarity and precision of anatomy to the doctors than the conventional surgical procedures.
The
small or micro incisions are used to insert the instruments required
for the surgery along with the endoscope. The doctors perform the
necessary functions based on the images on the screen. The surgery is
done after administering local or general anaesthesia.
Conditions
requiring Micro Endoscopy Spine Surgeries
Unlike
conventional open back surgeries, the micro endoscopic spine
surgeries require minimal invasion. They are performed in cases like
bulging or herniated discs, Foramina stenosis, Spinal stenosis,
pinched nerves, bone spurts and so on.
The
advantages of micro endoscopic surgery are many when compared to the
conventional techniques. Since these are minimally invasive
procedures, the blood loss and scarring associated with the procedure
are almost negligible. Pain is also very less after the procedure
when compared to an open back surgery. A shorter recovery time, of a
day or less in hospital contributes to its popularity. It does not
cause much damage to the adjoining tissues as well.

treatment for neurological and brain disorders. A state of the art
infrastructure along with expertise of renowned micro endoscopic neuro surgeons and
