Open Spine Surgery vs Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Q: What is the difference between open and endoscopic spine surgery?
Open spine surgery uses a larger incision to expose the spine, while endoscopic spine surgery uses a small incision, camera and specialised instruments to treat the affected area with minimal tissue disruption.
Q: Is endoscopic spine surgery less invasive?
Yes. In suitable patients, endoscopic spine surgery can reduce muscle damage, blood loss and postoperative pain, with smaller scars and potentially faster recovery.
Q: Can slipped disc and sciatica be treated with endoscopy?
Yes. Selected patients with lumbar disc prolapse, slipped disc, sciatica and nerve compression may benefit from endoscopic discectomy and decompression.
Q: Can spinal stenosis be treated endoscopically?
In selected cases, endoscopic spinal decompression can relieve nerve compression caused by spinal stenosis and foraminal stenosis.
Q: Is endoscopic spine surgery always better than open surgery?
No. The best approach depends on MRI findings, spinal instability, deformity, severity of compression and the patient's individual condition. Complex cases may require open decompression or spinal fusion surgery.
Q: Who performs endoscopic spine surgery in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai?
