Back pain can affect mobility, rest, and quality of life. For years, many people have avoided spine surgery due to fear of invasive procedures and long recovery times.
Today, medicine offers a modern and safe alternative: spinal endoscopy.

What is spinal endoscopy?

Spinal endoscopy is a minimally invasive technique used to treat conditions such as herniated discs and spinal canal stenosis.
It is performed through an incision of less than one centimeter, using high-definition optics with a camera and light, allowing the specialist to visualize and treat the affected area with great precision.

Less invasion, better recovery

Because this technique preserves surrounding tissues, recovery is much faster and safer. Its main benefits include: shorter hospital stays, lower risk of infections and complications, and a quicker return to daily activities.
These advantages have made endoscopic surgery one of the most recommended options for treating spinal problems.

Advantages over traditional surgery

Unlike open spine surgery, the endoscopic technique offers:

• Incisions of only a few millimeters
• Less postoperative pain
• Hospital discharge in a short time
• Faster functional recovery

A modern and safe alternative

Are you concerned about open spine surgery? Endoscopic surgery is a less invasive option that reduces pain, bleeding, and hospitalization time, avoiding long rehabilitation processes.
