Endoscopic Spine Surgery - Spine & Joint Clinic

Dr. Dhruvin Patel is a trained endoscopic spine surgeon, with extensive experience in full endoscopic spine surgery covering most of the common age related spinal pathologies like lumbar disc herniation and lumbar canal stenosis.

The advantages of endoscopic spine surgery are:

Outpatient procedure
Local anesthetic
Appropriate for patients unable to tolerate open surgery or general anesthesia
Safe approach without damage to nerve root, ganglion or dura
No limitation in size or location of herniation
Effective decompression and foraminoplasty
Tissue sparing, less post-operative scar tissue formation
Quicker healing with less rehabilitation and rapid return to activities
Reduced post-operative pain requiring little or no pain medication
Smaller incision results in lower incidence of infection and blood loss
Does not preclude other spine surgery
Minimal procedure disposable costs

The endoscopic spine surgery is suitable for most of the incidence of lumbar disc herniation and nerve root compression in middle age groups or elderly patients.
