Endoscopy has conquered almost all kinds of surgery and various kinds of treatments are done using an endoscope. An endoscope is a very tiny fiber-optic video camera that is attached to a rigid endoscope which then is inserted along the spine surface through small incisions. This camera is connected to a widescreen outside that facilitates a wider and better view of internal anatomy. This greatly helps the surgeon to precisely reach and perform the surgery at the target site.
Endoscopic spinal surgeries are a less invasive alternative to traditional open-back surgeries for treatment of various spinal issues and conditions including:

Endoscopic procedures are generally performed under local or general anesthesia depending upon the site of surgery and patient condition. It is a minimally invasive procedure that requires small incisions for the entry of the endoscope and other instruments. Through these incisions, the surgeon can access the spine and perform procedures through a port. An endoscope is attached to the camera that displays detailed images of the inner area on a monitor outside. This helps the surgeon to have a safe surgery with no or only minor complications.
Less risk and more advantages have made Micro-endoscopic surgery a gold standard procedure in the field of spine surgery.
