The Ultimate Guide to Spinal Endoscopic Surgery: Evolution, Applications, and Herniated Disc Treatment

Spinal endoscopic surgery is a rapidly evolving minimally invasive technique that has advanced significantly over the past decade. Through a tiny 0.8–1 cm incision and a high-resolution endoscope (providing magnified visuals), it precisely relieves nerve compression. It is commonly used for conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and bone spur compression. Most patients can walk on the same day or the next, with hospital stays typically shorter than 2 days. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the technique's evolution, the differences between single and dual-portal approaches, indications, costs, and key considerations.
