For patients with spinal problems such as herniated discs compressing nerves, spinal canal stenosis compressing nerves, and who have been treated conservatively for a while but symptoms do not improve, surgery may eventually be necessary… If the patient is very afraid of surgery!! What should be done? Today we have good information to share.

Don’t worry when you have to undergo spinal surgery

Don’t worry! Because “endoscopic surgery” makes surgery less frightening than in the past. For those who have been afraid that surgery would leave a large scar, be dangerous, fear paralysis after surgery, fear long-term leave from work, fear long recovery without care, or fear a long surgical scar, all these concerns can be eliminated by…

“Endoscopic surgery with a wound smaller than 1 centimeter, only 1 incision (Endoscopic Spine Surgery) that helps unlock fear and worries completely”

Because this innovative single small-incision endoscopic surgery is another treatment option for two groups of diseases: spinal canal stenosis and herniated discs compressing nerves. Both diseases have similar symptoms, including back pain radiating down the leg, numbness, and muscle weakness, which cause great suffering for patients. If conservative treatment does not improve symptoms after some time, the final treatment is surgery.

What is endoscopic surgery and what are its benefits?

Endoscopic surgery involves making a small incision of less than 1 centimeter only at the surgical site. Then, an endoscope, a small tube-like surgical instrument with a camera at the tip, is inserted to the surgical area. The surgeon views the operation through the endoscope’s monitor, allowing clear visualization of abnormalities and more precise surgery. Surrounding muscles and tissues are minimally injured, blood loss is minimal, the risk of complications is low, recovery is fast, hospital stay is short, and patients can walk immediately after surgery and return to normal life quickly. The results are comparable to traditional open surgery with large incisions, making it a perfect solution for modern life.

 

Since endoscopic surgery is an option that helps relieve your concerns about spinal surgery, all you need is to have the courage, prepare well for the surgery, and take good care of your health after surgery. Then, symptoms from spinal canal stenosis or herniated discs compressing nerves will no longer be a problem for you.
