Considering Endoscopic Spinal Surgery

Patients who have been told they need surgery to treat their back and neck problems should investigate the possibility of endoscopic procedures for the spine, which offer a very high success rate and much shorter recovery time compared to traditional spinal surgeries.

Laser Spine Institute specializes in endoscopic procedures for the treatment of a range of neck and back problems. Our procedures are:

• Minimally invasive
• Performed on an outpatient basis so they require no hospitalization
• Performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation (no general anesthesia)
• Accompanied by physical therapy and follow-up care

The surgeons at Laser Spine Institute perform minimally invasive endoscopic procedures by making a small incision, typically about 5mm. Doctors then insert a small tube through which other, smaller tubes and instruments are inserted. Specialized tools, including lasers, cameras, suction, and irrigation, are used by physicians to perform a variety of procedures, such as removing bone fragments, disc material, or scar tissue that are pressing on the spine and causing considerable pain to the patient. On occasion, patients experience relief as soon as nerve roots are released from pressure.

LSI’s endoscopic procedures treat:

• Sciatica
• Herniated discs and bulging discs
• Scar tissue formation
• Bone spurs
• Thickening ligaments
• Degeneration of the facet joint
• Arthritis of the spine
• Spondylolisthesis
• Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, a general term that covers any number of conditions resulting from failed traditional back surgery
• Other back and neck conditions
