Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spinal conditions like disc herniations or nerve compression. Using a tiny incision, a small camera (endoscope) is inserted to visualize and treat the problem with extreme precision—resulting in faster recovery and minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
The purpose is to remove pressure from spinal nerves caused by disc issues, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis—without open surgery. It's ideal for patients who want pain relief with less downtime, reduced blood loss, and faster return to daily life.
Choose a specialist with focused experience. Dr. Sridhar has over 14 years in orthopedic and spine surgery with expertise in minimally invasive endoscopic techniques.
Most endoscopic spine surgeries are completed in 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity and levels involved. You’ll typically be able to go home the same day.
After numbing the area with local or general anesthesia, a small incision (usually less than 1 cm) is made. A thin tube with a camera (endoscope) is inserted to reach the spine. Specialized tools are used to remove or repair the damaged tissue—all while preserving muscles and bone.
