For many years, spine surgery was considered complex and intimidating due to large incisions, long recovery times, and potential complications. But thanks to remarkable progress in medical technology, Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS) has completely changed how spinal problems are treated.
At Ortho’s Centre, under the expert guidance of Dr. Shrikant Dalal, patients can now benefit from a safer, faster, and more precise form of spine surgery that focuses on minimally invasive care and faster recovery.
What Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?
Endoscopic Spine Surgery is a modern surgical technique designed to treat spinal conditions through a small incision (less than 1 cm) using an endoscopic camera. This camera allows the surgeon to view the affected area in real-time and perform the surgery with remarkable accuracy.
Unlike traditional open spine surgery, ESS causes minimal muscle damage, less blood loss, and allows quicker healing — helping patients get back on their feet in weeks, with the possibility of same-day walking after surgery in some cases.
How Does Endoscopic Spine Surgery Work?
During the procedure, a thin endoscope equipped with a high-resolution camera is inserted through a tiny incision. Using this visual guide, Dr. Shrikant Dalal carefully removes or repairs the damaged portion of the disc or bone that is pressing on the spinal nerves.
Most patients are treated under minimal requirement of anaesthesia, which significantly reduces risks and helps in faster postoperative recovery.
This technique is especially effective for conditions such as:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Bone spurs
- Lumbar spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
- Degenerative disc disease
Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Compared to traditional spine surgery, Endoscopic Spine Surgery offers numerous advantages that make it the preferred choice for many patients today:
- Minimal incision and tissue disruption
- Negligible blood loss
- No or very small scar
- Lower risk of infection
- Less postoperative pain
- Shorter hospital stay (often same-day discharge)
- Quicker return to normal life
Additionally, patients often experience better spine mobility and reduced long-term complications like fibrosis or stiffness.
Who Can Benefit from Endoscopic Spine Surgery?
ESS is ideal for patients experiencing persistent back or leg pain due to spinal nerve compression or disc issues. It’s also an excellent option for elderly patients who want faster recovery and minimal surgical trauma.
However, Dr. Shrikant Dalal emphasizes that surgery is considered only when non-surgical treatments — like physiotherapy, spinal injections, or medications — do not provide sufficient relief.
