Minimally Invasive Spine Endoscopy at Gangnam NANOORI Hospital
What is Spine Endoscopy?
Spine endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and chronic back pain with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional open spine surgery, endoscopic spine surgery requires only a small incision, allowing for faster recovery, less pain, and reduced scarring.
Conditions Treated with Spine Endoscopy
✔
Herniated Disc (Slipped Disc) – Removing or decompressing herniated disc material to relieve nerve compression.
✔
Spinal Stenosis – Widening narrowed spinal canals to ease pressure on nerves.
✔
Sciatica (Nerve Compression) – Alleviating pain radiating from the lower back down the legs.
✔
Facet Joint Syndrome – Treating inflammation and degeneration in spinal joints.
✔
Chronic Back & Neck Pain – Providing long-term pain relief without open surgery.
Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery
- Minimally Invasive – Small incisions mean less bleeding, less pain, and a quicker recovery.
- Faster Healing – Most patients can return home the same day with a shorter rehabilitation period.
- Preserves Healthy Tissue – Unlike traditional surgery, spine endoscopy avoids unnecessary muscle and bone removal.
- Less Risk of Complications – Reduced chance of infection, nerve damage, or post-surgical instability.
