In which cases is endoscopic surgery recommended to treat a herniated disc?

Our level of experience means that we can treat both simple and complex hernias by endoscopic surgery, although each case must be evaluated individually in order to offer the best solution.

Herniated disc

Disc herniation occurs when the gelatinous nucleus of an intervertebral disc is displaced or leaks through its outer layer, putting pressure on nearby nerves. This condition can cause severe pain, numbness or weakness in specific areas, such as the neck, back or extremities, depending on the location of the affected disc.
