ENDOSCOPIC SURGERY
Stitchless and Bloodless Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS) is a surgery of choice for chronic back and leg pain patients. Using state-of-the-art technology, an HD camera attached to an endoscope is inserted through a tiny ¼ inch incision to target the source of pain in the spine.
This approach allows our spine surgeons to operate with unparalleled precision and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. It also minimises trauma to muscles and soft tissues, leading to quicker recoveries and better patient outcomes.

Why do we recommend Endoscopic Spine Surgery
- Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience shorter recovery times and can return to their daily activities sooner.
- Minimal Postoperative Pain: The small incision reduces discomfort and promotes faster healing.
- Local Anaesthesia: Conscious IV sedation lowers risks associated with general anaesthesia.
- Reduced Infection Risk: Smaller incisions minimise the risk of postoperative infections.
- Muscle Preservation: Unlike traditional surgery, ESS avoids major back muscles, preserving spinal stability.
- Spine Fusion Alternative: For select patients, ESS offers a viable alternative to traditional spine fusion procedures.

From Stretcher to Walking with Endoscopic Spine Surgery
“At Sanjeevni Plus Hospital, another success story fills us with pride—a patient who went in on a stretcher and came out walking. This is the essence of our commitment to ensuring happy patients.”

Treatment Journey
The patient arrived with severe back pain and mobility restrictions due to a spinal disc issue. Given the patient's use of blood thinner medication, immediate surgery wasn't possible. To alleviate his pain, our team administered a nerve root block, providing temporary relief.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Following the nerve block, the patient underwent endoscopic spine surgery under local anaesthesia. Remarkably, the entire surgery took just 45 minutes. Initially brought into the operating theatre on a stretcher, the patient walked out within 15 minutes post-surgery.

Patient Testimonial
As soon as the operation was done, I felt relieved. I even walked back to my room in Delhi. The surgery lasted only 45 minutes. They did the surgery on the same table, so it was a terrifying experience. Would you like to tell me if you want to go somewhere else, brother, I can also open this video."
FAQs
Endoscopic Spine Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where a small incision (often less than ¼ inch) is made to access the spine using an endoscope equipped with a camera and specialised tools. It is used to treat various spinal conditions causing back and leg pain.
ESS involves much smaller incisions compared to traditional open spine surgery, resulting in less damage to muscles and tissues. This leads to faster recovery times, reduced postoperative pain, and lower risks of complications such as infection.
ESS is effective for treating conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and failed back surgery syndrome. It can alleviate symptoms like back pain, leg pain, and numbness caused by these conditions.
Candidates for ESS are typically individuals who have persistent back or leg pain that has not responded to conservative treatments like physical therapy or medications. Your suitability for ESS will be assessed by a spine specialist based on your medical history and diagnostic tests.
The benefits of ESS include faster recovery times, minimal postoperative pain, reduced risk of infection, preservation of spinal stability due to minimal disruption to muscles, and the ability to avoid traditional spinal fusion in select cases.
Recovery times can vary depending on the specific procedure and individual factors. However, many patients can return to light activities within a few days to weeks after surgery, with full recovery typically achieved within several weeks to months.
Like any surgical procedure, ESS carries some risks, though they are generally lower compared to traditional open surgery. Risks may include infection, bleeding, nerve injury, or complications related to anaesthesia. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you before the procedure.
- In many cases, Endoscopic Spine Surgery is covered by health insurance plans, especially when deemed medically necessary. It's important to check with your insurance provider regarding coverage specifics, including any deductibles or copayments.
Your healthcare team will provide specific instructions tailored to your procedure. Generally, preparations may include fasting before surgery, adjusting medications as advised by your doctor, and arranging for transportation to and from the hospital on the day of surgery.
