Microendoscopic
discectomy is nothing but a minimally-invasive treatment method which is used
for removing a herniated disc that is continuously pressing on the spinal cord
or the nerve root. This treatment method uses a specially designed microscope
for viewing the nerves and disc and is done with the help of a tubular
equipment.
Microendoscopic discectomy is completely an
outpatient process that lets the patients leave the nursing home the same day.
However, it might take several weeks or even months to treat completely. The
majority patients feel instant relief from ache. It is important to note that a
microendoscopic discectomy won’t change the structure of a patient’s lower
spine. So, if you are suffering from neck pain, back pain, the stiffness of
neck or weakness of neck or if you have a spine injury, then consult an
experienced spine specialist in order to get rid of your discomfort and
uneasiness.

Know about Microendoscopic Discectomy Treatment Method:
As
mentioned earlier that it is a minimally-invasive process and offers to relieve
ache caused by your herniated disc pushing on the nerve roots. Microendoscopic discectomy treatment
is generally done by technologically advanced as well as newer equipment to
discard the prolapsed disc with a small cut, lessen dissection and also
decreased commotion of normal tissue. A cut of size 5 mm is usually made over
the disc.
As the cut is very small,
so there is insignificant surgical trauma to muscles and normal tissue, minimum
blood loss. In the incision, special retractors are being placed. An endoscope
that is a tube along with a camera at the sharp end is being placed inside the
cut and surgeons reach to the patient’s spine. Herniated disc and very small
amount of bone is being removed through that incision. Free nerve root can be seen with the help of an
endoscope. The best part is that the mark of operation is not noticeable after
a certain period of time.
