💡 AI Summary & Key Takeaways
– Full-endoscopic spine surgery utilizes a 7–8 mm working cannula with high-definition 4K optics.
– Continuous saline irrigation ensures continuous nerve protection and crystal-clear visualization.
– Performed under light sedation/local anesthesia with discharge within 2–3 hours.
– Continuous saline irrigation ensures continuous nerve protection and crystal-clear visualization.
– Performed under light sedation/local anesthesia with discharge within 2–3 hours.
The Pinnacle of Modern Spine Endoscopy
Full-Endoscopic Discectomy (Transforaminal & Interlaminar) represents the least invasive surgical modality available worldwide. An 8-mm optical scope with an integrated working channel navigates directly into the spinal canal under continuous water irrigation.
Unique Advantages of Endoscopic Discectomy
- Can be performed under conscious sedation and local anesthesia.
- No bone resection (sparing the lamina and facet joints), preserving intrinsic spinal stability.
- Same-day discharge with immediate resumption of walking and light activity.
