Back pain caused by a herniated disc can be debilitating, affecting daily activities like walking, sitting, and working. Traditional spine surgeries often involve large incisions, prolonged recovery, and post-surgical complications. However, Endoscopic Discectomy is a game-changing minimally invasive spine procedure that relieves pain while ensuring quicker recovery. At Panacea Spine Pain Ortho & Sleep Centre, we specialize in advanced treatments like Endoscopic Discectomy to help patients regain their quality of life.
What is Endoscopic Discectomy?
Endoscopic Discectomy is a modern, minimally invasive surgical technique where a small incision is made, and a specialized endoscope (tiny camera) is inserted to remove the damaged part of the disc that is pressing on spinal nerves. Unlike traditional open surgeries, this procedure requires no major muscle cutting, reducing post-operative pain and recovery time.
Advantages of Endoscopic Discectomy
✔ Minimally invasive – Small incisions mean less trauma to tissues
✔ Quicker recovery – Most patients resume daily activities within a few weeks
✔ Reduced blood loss & infection risk – Compared to open spine surgery
✔ Minimal post-operative pain – No large wounds or heavy medication required
✔ Outpatient procedure – Many patients can go home the same day
Who is a Candidate for Endoscopic Discectomy?
This procedure is suitable for individuals suffering from:
✅ Herniated Disc – A bulging or ruptured disc pressing on nerves
✅ Sciatica – Pain radiating from the lower back down to the legs
✅ Spinal Stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal causing nerve compression
✅ Chronic lower back pain – Not responding to conservative treatments
Recovery & Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, patients are advised to:
✔ Follow physical therapy exercises to regain strength
✔ Maintain proper posture to prevent recurrence
✔ Avoid heavy lifting or twisting movements for a few weeks
