Endoscopic Spine Surgery is a type of state-of-the-art surgery that uses a small tubular system or micro-incisions, assisted with an endoscope for visualization. This type of Minimally-Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) provides patients with quicker recovery and less pain than traditional spine surgery.
When you’re experiencing severe pain in your back for more than 6 weeks and all traditional methods fail, MISS helps you get yourself back on track.

A herniated disk in the lower back that pinches a nerve may cause severe leg pain, numbness, or weakness. To surgically relieve these symptoms, the disk is removed. This procedure is called a discectomy.
For the surgery, the patient is positioned face-down and a small incision (sometimes less than 1 in.) is made over the location of the herniated disk. The surgeon inserts the retractor and removes a small amount of the lamina bone. This provides the surgeon with a view of the spinal nerve and the disk. The surgeon carefully retracts the nerve, removes the damaged disk. This minimally invasive technique can also be used for herniated disks in the neck.
Once the decision to go ahead with the surgery is made, our team of experts at Zoi take care of you. Our anesthesia team does a thorough preoperative evaluation and plans your general anaesthesia and postoperative pain management.
The patient follows up with the doctor at the end of two weeks, one month later and one year later from the date of surgery.
