Guard your spine
The New Indian Express|November 02, 2024
ENDOSCOPIC spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat lumbar (lower back) disc prolapse (also known as a herniated disc), and several other conditions that affect the spine.

Guard your spine

In this condition, the soft inner material of the intervertebral disc pushes through the tough outer layer, often pressing nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the lower back and legs. Opting for medical intervention in selected cases is crucial to minimising nerve damage and expediting recovery.

Conventionally, microscopic surgery is the preferred method of removing a herniated disc and decompressing the nerve root. Microscopic Lumbar Discectomy (MLD) is a relatively small procedure but entails dissecting the muscle and removing a small portion of the bone and ligament. Recent advances have enabled surgeons to achieve the same objective with endoscopic techniques, which do not af fect muscle attachments or entail any bone or ligament removal in most cases.
