Endoscopic spine surgery

When is endoscopic spine surgery necessary?

In our practice, we prioritize a personalized approach, designing a therapeutic plan tailored to each patient based on the severity of symptoms, the specific condition and its impact on your quality of life.

Treatments according to the situation

Early stages or mild pain
For cases of tolerable pain or early stage symptoms, we recommend regenerative therapies. These minimally invasive techniques help reduce pain and stimulate the natural recovery of tissues, allowing in many cases to avoid or delay the need for surgery.

Severe pain or significant nerve damage
When pain becomes disabling or there is major nerve damage, endoscopic spine surgery is an effective and minimally invasive solution. This procedure relieves pressure on the nerves, restores spinal function and significantly improves the patient’s quality of life.

A comprehensive and specialized approach
Each patient is unique. Therefore, we carefully evaluate your case through advanced imaging studies and a detailed diagnosis to determine the best therapeutic option. Our goal is to offer effective treatments with the least possible invasiveness, always prioritizing your well-being and recovery.

Advantages of an innovative technique

Less invasive: Significantly reduces damage to muscle and surrounding tissues compared to traditional surgical techniques.

Faster recovery: As a less invasive procedure, patients experience shorter recovery times, allowing them to resume their daily activities sooner.

Less postoperative pain: Discomfort after surgery is minimal due to the precise and delicate approach of this technique.

Reduced risks: Small incisions reduce the risk of infections, complications and visible scars.

High precision: The endoscopic camera provides a detailed view of the affected area, allowing the surgeon to act with great accuracy.

Shorter hospitalization: In many cases, surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, which means that the patient can return home the same day.

Recovery after Endoscopic Spine Surgery

What is the recovery process like?

• Short or outpatient hospitalization: In most cases, surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing the patient to return home the same day or after a short stay in the hospital.
• Minimal discomfort: As a less invasive procedure, patients usually experience less postoperative pain, which can be controlled with mild analgesics.
• Gradual return to activities: Light activities, such as walking, can be resumed in a few days.
  Depending on the nature of the job, it is possible to return to work activities in one to two weeks.
  Sports or more intense physical activities usually require 4 to 6 weeks.
• Personalized physical therapy: In some cases, rehabilitation therapy is recommended to strengthen the back muscles and improve mobility.
