Specialists in Ultra-Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) is a newer technique that is sometimes referred to as an ultra-minimally invasive surgical technique. Endoscopic spine surgery helps to preserve the motion of the rest of the spine, by allowing for the most minimal repair and reducing or eliminating any changes to the soft tissues and the structure of the spine. The incisions are only about ¼ of an inch – just large enough to insert an endoscope which is the size of a straw. Through the endoscope, the surgeon can pass micro-instruments and cameras that allow the surgeon to see with detail the spinal nerves, discs, and structures. They can visualize and target individual spinal nerves. Surgery is completed with great accuracy, which can significantly improve patient outcomes and speed recovery times.

• Patients with chronic neck or back pain have much to look forward to when considering spine surgery today, as new, minimally invasive approaches offer many benefits:
• Reduced trauma to the muscles and soft tissues which translates to quicker healing
• Smaller skin incisions – sometimes as small as few millimeters offers a better cosmetic result
• Less blood loss during surgery
• Reduced risk of infection
• Spinal fusion alternative for select patients
• Faster recovery from surgery and less rehabilitation required
• Less pain and reduced reliance on pain medications after surgery
