Endoscopic Microdiscectomy Surgery—Looking for a Top Quality Hospital & Surgeon Abroad
October 28th, 2007|

In some patients with back injury, the disc between the bones of the spine slips or prolapses and presses on a nearby nerve causing acute pain in the lower back or leg (lumbar disc prolapse / slipped disc/herniated disc). Endosopic micro disectomy is a spinal treatment aimed at patients who have sustained such back injury. Because of the high cost of endosopic micro disectomy in US, many back injury patients are looking for a top quality hospital abroad in countries such as India. Endoscopic micro disectomy is a less invasive alternative to microsopic lumbar disectomy.In EMD, an endoscope is used to view the nerve root and the prolapsed disc. A small incision is made to introduce the endoscope at the affected disc level. The endoscope illuminates and magnifies the surgical area, allowing the surgeon and supporting staff to view the area on a television screen. The surgeon can perform the entire surgery by looking at the television screen. As a result, there is less muscle dissection. Endoscopic micro disectomy patients can get up and walk on the same day of the surgery. The hospital stay is very short. |
