Endoscopic Spinal Stenosis Decompression Treatment in India

Understanding Endoscopic Decompression for Spinal Stenosis:

Spinal stenosis is a condition where the nerve roots are compressed due to the narrowing of the spinal canal, often caused by factors like bulging discs, bone spurs, or spondylosis. This condition typically manifests with neurological symptoms such as radiating pain, tingling, numbness, weakness, and in some cases, difficulty in breathing, bowel, or bladder problems.

While non-surgical treatments may not provide relief for many patients, endoscopic decompression offers a viable solution to alleviate the pain associated with spinal stenosis and lower back arthritis.

Key Aspects of Endoscopic Decompression:

Endoscopic decompression is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to relieve nerve compression within the spinal canal through a small incision, typically less than one centimetre in size. The surgery relies on real-time endoscope guidance, electromyography (EMG), and radiographic imaging, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

Individuals suffering from conditions like sciatica, which involves leg pain, or lower back pain, are often excellent candidates for this procedure, as it can significantly reduce the pain associated with spinal stenosis and lower back arthritis.

Benefits of Endoscopic Decompression:

One of the primary advantages of choosing endoscopic decompression, according to Dr. Sandeep Vaishaya, is its minimally invasive nature. This means that there is minimal trauma to the soft tissues and muscles compared to traditional open surgery. Consequently, the recovery time is shorter, and patients experience minimal pain or discomfort post-surgery. In many cases, immediate relief from leg pain is achieved. This approach also presents fewer complications and risks, with a high success rate and long-term therapeutic benefits.

Moreover, endoscopic decompression does not involve the placement of hardware or result in a loss of mobility, making it a preferred choice over other techniques.

Ideal Candidates for Endoscopic Decompression:

Endoscopic decompression is recommended for individuals with spinal stenosis caused by conditions such as bulging discs, arthritis, bone spurs, or spondylosis. It is also suitable for those experiencing severe back pain along with neurological symptoms such as leg pain.

Procedure Overview:

The minimally invasive endoscopic decompression involves a small incision, typically less than one centimetre in size, and employs X-ray guidance to access the lumbar spine. Instead of cutting the muscles, muscle dilators are used to gently stretch the soft tissues, creating the path for the endoscope.

Dr. Sandeep Vaishaya utilises specialised instruments and techniques to reduce the arthritic bone that compresses the nerves within the spinal canal. The goal is to free the nerves from the compression, thus relieving the associated symptoms. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes around 2 to 3 hours, depending on the severity of the condition. Unlike traditional open surgery, endoscopic microdiscectomy uses an endoscope to magnify and visualise the surgical area.

If you are struggling with spinal stenosis or lower back pain, endoscopic decompression, as offered by Dr. Sandeep Vaishaya, presents a less invasive, highly effective, and well-tolerated treatment option to relieve your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
