Endoscopic surgery to treat lower back pain caused by lumbar instability or spinal degeneration
This is a minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery designed to treat chronic lower back pain and instability in the lumbar spine. The procedure involves removing damaged intervertebral disc tissue and inserting a cage filled with bone graft between vertebrae to fuse them together and restore spinal stability.
Using a high-resolution endoscope with a lens at the tip, the surgeon can operate through a small 5 mm incision. This allows for direct visualization of the affected area without cutting into healthy muscles or bones.
The result is a precise operation with minimal trauma, faster recovery, and lower complication rates compared to traditional open surgery.
