What Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?

Endoscopic spinal surgery is a modern, minimally invasive procedure that uses a tiny camera (endoscope) and specialized instruments to address spinal conditions through small incisions. Unlike traditional open surgery, this approach preserves surrounding muscles and tissues, reducing trauma, scarring, and downtime.

Key Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Patients choosing endoscopic back surgery in KPK-Pakistan under the expertise of Dr. Farooq can expect:

  • Reduced Pain – Smaller incisions mean minimal tissue disruption and less postoperative discomfort.
  • Faster Recovery – Many patients resume light activities within days and return to work much sooner.
  • Lower Risk of Complications – Minimally invasive techniques reduce infection risks and surgical complications.
  • Minimal Scarring – Small incisions leave almost no visible marks.
  • Enhanced Precision – Real-time imaging ensures accurate treatment of spinal issues.
  • Preservation of Spinal Function – Healthy tissues and spinal mobility are maintained.

Why Endoscopic Spine Surgery?

Faster recovery and return to normal activity

Fewer postoperative complications and infections, less disruption to surrounding soft tissue, and a shorter hospital stay

Endoscopic lumbar medial branch transection (MBT) is safe, effective, and provides long-term benefits up to 5 years postsurgery

Requires smaller incisions, which leads to less muscle trauma compared to open or tubular surgeries

Who Is a Candidate for
Endoscopic Spine Surgery?

Your doctor may recommend endoscopic spine surgery if:

  • Nonsurgical treatments (such as pain medication, physical therapy, steroid injections, and nerve blocks) have stopped working or are not right for you
  • You are not a candidate for more invasive surgeries (such as spinal fusion), or a smaller procedure will suffice
  • You have undergone surgery, like a fusion, but are still experiencing pain and/or other symptoms
