New Delhi, Delhi Dec 6, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - IPSC Pain and Spine Hospitals - Advancements in Endoscopic Spine Procedures
Dr. (Maj) Pankaj N Surange, Director of IPSC Pain and Spine Hospitals, has recently highlighted the significant advancements and benefits of Endoscopic Discectomy, a minimally invasive spine intervention. This cutting-edge technique, which involves the use of an endoscope to treat various disc-related issues, offers numerous advantages, particularly for the younger generation, by facilitating a quicker return to regular activities.
Endoscopic Discectomy: A Leap in Spinal Care
Endoscopic Discectomy is a highly effective intervention for herniated, protruded, extruded, or degenerative discs that contribute to leg and back pain. Unlike traditional spine surgeries, this procedure does not require cutting muscles and bones to open the entire spine, thereby reducing recovery time significantly.
Technological Advancements and Safety
IPSC Pain and Spine Hospitals have invested in state-of-the-art technology, including 3 Chip cameras and 4K monitors, to enhance the clarity and safety of the procedure. This advanced equipment allows for a clearer view of internal structures, minimizing the risk of injury during the procedure.

-
Endoscopic Discectomy Defined: It is a minimally invasive surgery for slipped discs or disc bulge, relieving nerve compression and associated pain.

Purpose of the Surgery: The primary goal is to alleviate nerve compression caused by disc herniation or bulge, preventing potential permanent nerve damage.
-
Identifying Compressed Nerve Symptoms: These include pain, paraesthesia, loss of sensation in parts of the leg, and sometimes lower limb weakness.
-
Achieving Decompression: The procedure involves making a small incision under local anesthesia and using a spine endoscope to remove herniated material without disturbing normal tissues.
-
No Need for Rods and Screws: The minimally invasive nature of the procedure negates the need for additional hardware like rods and screws.
