(Keyhole Disc Surgery)
Book an Appointment
Conditions Treated
When a herniated (slipped) disc compresses the spinal cord or nerve roots, it can cause severe pain, weakness, or numbness. In such cases, an endoscopic discectomy can safely remove the displaced disc material.
How It Works
- A small endoscope (1 cm in diameter) is inserted into the affected disc.
- Using a miniature camera and specialized instruments, the herniated portion of the disc is removed.
- This keyhole surgery preserves surrounding structures and speeds up recovery.
Benefits
- Minimally invasive – No large incisions, minimal scarring
- Quick recovery – Just 24-hour hospitalization
- Immediate pain relief – Reduces nerve compression effectively
