Endoscopic spine surgery is a ultra-minimally invasive technique that uses a small camera (endoscope) and specialized instruments inserted through a tiny incision to treat spinal conditions. This approach allows the surgeon to access the affected area with minimal disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues. Compared to traditional open surgery, endoscopic techniques are designed to reduce recovery time, minimize postoperative pain, and allow patients to return to normal activities faster.
