This minimally invasive laser spine surgery helps shrink and then remove herniated discs in the lumbar, or lower, region of the spine. It is usually recommended by surgeons when the patient is experiencing pain in the leg or lower back. Discs are a type of cushions that are found in the space between your vertebrae – the bones in your spine. Sometimes, these discs crack open due to their soft centers pushing through the outer casing. While a herniated disc does not always lead to pain symptoms, they can start to put pressure on the nerves in your spine. This pressure, usually, what causes most people pain or numbness in their back, leg, or arm. Lumbar Endoscopic Discectomy employs all the basic advantages of traditional spinal microsurgery: illumination and magnification – decompression of the affected spinal nerve with direct visualization of the nerve. A specialist performs the procedure with the help of images from a thin, small camera called an endoscope. It is indicated in patient with herniated disc, experiencing lower back and leg pain. However, the choice between a lumbar endoscopic discectomy and an open procedure depends on the preference of the surgeon and the condition of the patient. Throughout the procedure, the surgeon always visualizes a magnified image of the entire working area on a monitor with the help of an endoscope inserted through the trocar.

Benefits of a Lumbar Endoscopic Discectomy

All advantages of endoscopic discectomy at a glance:

• very high success rate > 95%
• very low infection rate < 0,01%
• The intervention can be carried out under local anesthesia – no general anesthesia is required!
• In most cases patients are pain free immediately after surgery!
• As there is almost no tissue damage, the intervention is much less cumbersome and the risk of complications is very low
• No instability, as the structures that stabilize the spine – the ligaments and joints – remains unhurt. This is a main difference to microscopic surgery technique.
• Less wound healing pain as well as higher stability, as back muscles are not cut or torn.
• Little infection risk, as access is through a small cutaneous incision (5mm).
• Less scarring in the region of the nerve roots!
• Already two hours after the intervention you will be able to walk without pain.
• Short hospital stay: you can go back home the day after the intervention
• Already after a few days you may resume your usual daily activities.
• Short recovery times: after one or two weeks you can go back to work, after 6 weeks you may resume your usual sports activities.
• Little scarring
