Spinal surgery has come a long way with recent technological advancements. Conventional open spine surgery meant large incisions, long recovery periods, painful rehabilitation, and high complications rate while not as high success rate. Technology has made endoscopic surgery of the spine a reality and the Percutaneous Endoscopic Discectomy is now a better alternative to a spinal fusion.
According to the Spine Institute of San Diego, an endoscopic discectomy procedure is up to 95 percent effective at eliminating sciatica pain caused by disc herniation. Sciatica is a pain condition caused by compression of the spinal nerve. This compression is most often the result of a herniated lumbar disc.
Endoscopic Discectomy, also sometimes called micro-decompression or microdiscectomy, is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure performed on patients with a herniated lumbar disc. During this surgery, a surgeon will remove portions of the herniated disc to relieve pressure on the spinal nerve column. Our spine surgeons are pioneers and innovators in the field and perform a hybrid procedure combining regenerative medicine with endoscopic discectomy for enhanced and improved results; the mechanical compression is corrected and the damaged tissue is regenerated, enhancing the recovery with quicker and long-lasting results. This minimally invasive and innovative approach not only eliminates pain but also targets the root cause of the problem and promotes a healing process to prevent the pain from coming back.

For your convenience, we have designed Medical Tourism Packages for Endoscopic Discectomy that include the following:
The goal of an Endoscopic Discectomy is to remove the disc material placing pressure on the nerves. The procedure is done under general anesthesia. You will be unconscious during the entire procedure and unable to feel anything. The procedure is performed with the patient lying face down. The process goes as follows:
The spinal nerve now has the space it needs inside the spinal column, so any pain caused by pinching on the nerve should stop.
As soon as the procedure is finished, on average, patients experience a 50%-70% improvement and they are able to leave the surgery center walking and without pain. Our surgeons recommend limiting physical activity and preventing bending or lifting for 3-4 weeks following the Microdiscectomy. This first stage is critical in the success of the treatment as the newly generated tissue must adhere well to the existing structure of the spine. After the week 4 our surgeons recommend beginning stretching and conditioning exercises, which will be provided to you upon returning home from your first session. The improvement continues to increase with a stronger back and as new tissue is generated. B y month 8-10, 95% of patients report 80%-95% overall improvement.
