Endoscopic Spine Surgery Treatment
At Dandy Brain and Spine, we offer endoscopic spine surgery as a minimally invasive treatment option for patients experiencing back pain, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and other spine-related conditions. This state-of-the-art procedure uses small incisions and specialized instruments to treat spine issues with less pain, quicker recovery times, and fewer risks compared to traditional open surgery.
What is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?
Endoscopic spine surgery is a cutting-edge technique that allows surgeons to access the spine through tiny incisions (usually no more than 1 cm in size). Using an endoscope—a thin tube with a camera at the end—surgeons can view the affected area on a monitor and perform precise, minimally invasive procedures.
Unlike traditional spine surgery, which often requires large incisions and extended recovery periods, endoscopic surgery promotes faster healing, less blood loss, and lower risk of complications. This procedure is particularly effective for treating conditions like:

Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Endoscopic spine surgery offers numerous advantages over traditional open surgery, including:
Minimally Invasive
The small incisions used in endoscopic spine surgery reduce muscle and tissue damage, leading to less postoperative pain and a faster recovery. Patients can go home same day after the procedure.
Faster Recovery
Patients typically experience less downtime and can return to normal activities within a shorter period—often within a few days.
Reduced Risk of Complications
Smaller incisions result in less risk of infection, blood loss, and nerve damage compared to traditional surgery.
Better Cosmetic Results
The small incisions used in the procedure are often virtually invisible once healed.
Precision and Safety
With the help of high-definition cameras and specialized instruments, surgeons can perform precise procedures with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
How Endoscopic Spine Surgery Works
Endoscopic spine surgery is performed under local anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s medical condition. The surgeon makes a small incision near the affected area of the spine and inserts the endoscope to visualize the spine on a monitor. Special instruments including radiofrequency laser which are then used to remove or repair damaged tissue, such as herniated discs or bone spurs, causing pain or other symptoms.
Most endoscopic spine surgeries are outpatient procedures, meaning you can go home the same day.

Conditions Treated with Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Endoscopic spine surgery is effective for treating a wide range of spine conditions, including:
Herniated Discs
When a disc bulges or ruptures, causing pressure on nearby nerves and resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness.
Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, often causing leg pain and difficulty walking.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Age-related changes in the spine that cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Sciatica
Pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, often caused by a herniated disc or spinal stenosis.
Facet Joint Issues
Problems with the joints that connect the vertebrae, leading to pain and inflammation.
