MICROENDOSCOPIC SURGERY
Endoscope, Laparoscope, Hysteroscope, Arthroscope and Ureteroscope are all equipments which are used in different surgical procedures for doing Minimally Invasive Surgery. Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS) is the most advanced and best surgical procedure using micro-sized incisions (less than 1-inch) and small tubular systems in combination with an endoscope to visualize the surgical field. In this type of surgery, the endoscopic spine surgeon uses an equipment which has a High Definition Camera, LED Light Source and very fine surgical tools. The endoscope goes inside the spine through small incisions and sends magnified high resolution images on the computer screen. The endoscopic spine surgeon performs the surgery by looking at the computer screen.
Endoscopic Spine Surgery has many advantages for the patient in the form of quicker recovery post surgery, much less blood loss and tissue damage during the surgery. The pain post surgery is also much lesser in endoscopic spine surgery oerformed by Dr Sudeep Jain at his spine surgery centre in Delhi, India.
