Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
(Painless, scarless, and faster-recovery spine solutions by Dr Abhishek Mannem)
Modern spine surgery no longer means large cuts, long bed rest, or weeks in the hospital. Today, with endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), we can treat disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and nerve compressions through keyhole incisions — often allowing patients to walk within hours and go home the same day.
At Bangalore Back, I have performed numerous endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgeries for patients from Bangalore, across South India, and abroad. These advanced techniques reduce muscle damage, minimize scarring, and enable quicker recovery while maintaining the same precision and safety as open surgery.
Understanding Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery use small incisions, a high-definition camera, and specialized instruments to reach and treat the affected disc or nerve. Unlike traditional surgery, these approaches preserve normal tissues, reducing pain and blood loss.
Common procedures include:
- Full Endoscopic Discectomy (Lumbar / Cervical / Thoracic)
- Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery (BESS)
- Endoscopic Rhizotomy (for facet joint pain)
- Microscopic Discectomy / Tubular Microdiscectomy
- Minimally Invasive Decompression / Laminotomy
- MIS TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion)
Who Benefits Most
Endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery are ideal for:
- Working professionals and athletes needing quick recovery
- Elderly patients or those with diabetes or heart issues (less anesthesia required)
- Individuals with lumbar or cervical disc herniation
- Patients with spinal canal stenosis or nerve compression
- Cases of recurrent disc herniation or failed open surgery
- Those seeking laser or keyhole spine surgery in Bangalore
When to Consider Surgery
You may need endoscopic or MISS if:
- You have persistent back or leg pain (sciatica) despite physiotherapy or medication
- MRI shows a disc prolapse or spinal stenosis
- You want faster recovery, minimal pain, and smaller scars
- You wish to avoid prolonged hospital stays
- You had prior spine surgery and want a less invasive solution
