Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Advanced Endoscopic Spine Surgery for Precise, Minimally Invasive Care in Mumbai
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat selected spinal conditions through a small incision. Using an endoscope and specialized instruments, the surgeon can access the affected area while minimizing disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues. At Brain Spine Asha Hospital in Kandivali East, Mumbai, Dr. Shankar Athawale provides specialized endoscopic spine care based on the patient’s condition, symptoms, and treatment requirements.
How Endoscopic Spine Surgery Works
The procedure uses a small endoscope equipped with a camera to provide a clear view of the spinal structures. Specialized instruments are then guided through the access point to address the underlying spinal problem. This approach may help reduce tissue trauma and support a smoother recovery in appropriately selected patients.
Conditions That May Be Treated
Endoscopic spine surgery may be considered for selected patients with:
- Herniated or slipped discs
- Nerve compression
- Sciatica
- Foraminal stenosis
- Certain degenerative spine conditions
- Persistent spinal pain caused by specific structural problems
Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery
