This procedure uses a small camera and instruments passed through a tube to the target area, guided by X-ray and real-time video. The endoscopic orthopedic procedure allows spine surgeons to operate safely, with greater accuracy, and offer patients better outcomes.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-7 col-sm-9 col-xxs-12 image-text__half image-text__img\">\n                    <div class=\"animated-image js-animated-image\">\n                                                    <div class=\"image-text__img-video\">\n                                <span class=\"js-animated-image-overlay animated-image-overlay\"><\/span>\n                                                                    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ondemand.viewmedica.com\/1782\/open\/A_ce05c825\" style=\"width:720px; max-width:100%; aspect-ratio:16\/9; \" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; fullscreen; clipboard-write;\" allowfullscreen frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n                                                            <\/div>                         \n\n                            <div class=\"image-text__img-wrap\">\n                                                            <\/div> \n\n                                            <\/div> <!-- image animation wrapper -->\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n    <section id=\"half-video-block_0c96008d3554cc33a5b7562578c6ca81\" class=\"half-and-half-video bg-light-grey video-text-block-right  half-and-half-video--inner-block  js-animated-text-container\">\n        <div class=\"half-and-half-video-text\">\n            <div class=\"half-and-half-video-text__wrapper\">\n                <h2>Endoscopic Spine Surgery Explained By Dr. Salari<\/h2>\n<p>An HD endoscope with an attached HD camera is inserted into the cannula or often called a tubular retractor.

As a result, patients can benefit from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A shorter recovery period: <\/strong>This procedure allows patients to experience a shorter recovery period and a faster return to their active lifestyle. Specifically, this is due to having a smaller incision, providing less post-operative pain, minimal blood loss and a reduced need for narcotic medication.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Muscle and spine preservation:<\/strong> Endoscopic surgery uses the smallest incision in spine surgery, designed to preserve the surrounding muscle and spine tissue. This technique also contributes to a shorter recovery period.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduced scarring and risk of infection:<\/strong> Because of the small incision, endoscopic procedures have less scarring and a reduced risk of post-operative infection. The use of conscious IV sedation and local anesthetic also poses less risk for general anesthesia side effects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/contact\/\">Schedule an Appointment<\/a><\/p>\n\n                                                        \n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n        \t\t\t<\/div>\n        \t\t<\/div>\n        \t<\/div>\n\n               \n        \t\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n    <section id=\"half-and-half-block_eb2472a24532a7449d61937e26648291\" class=\"half-and-half flex-row image-block-right   bg-gradient js-animated-text-container\">\n\n        <div class=\"half-and-half-text clearfix left\">\n            <div class=\"half-and-half-text__wrapper\">\n                <h2>How Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery Different Than Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?<\/h2>\n<p>Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) encompass a wide range of techniques, with endoscopic being the least invasive. In standard MIS techniques, the incision is 1 inch or more, while ESS uses a 1\/4-inch incision.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, endoscopic spine surgery significantly reduces trauma to the patient\u2019s muscles and soft tissue, leading to faster recovery. The endoscopic procedure utilizes a surgical approach that avoids the major stabilizing muscles of the lower back.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes called ultra-minimally invasive, endoscopic spine surgery can be performed faster, allowing the surgeon better access to the spinal nerves and disc and superior visualization.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image for illustrative purposes only.

The surgeon then locally numbs the surgical site to ensure the patient is comfortable throughout the surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Under fluoroscopic X-ray guidance, the physician guides a spinal needle and guidewire to the painful spinal disc. A micro-incision of \u00bc inch is made. A metal dilator (the size of a pencil) and cannula are gently placed over the guidewire down to the spinal disc to establish the surgical portal. The guidewire and dilator are removed.<\/p>\n<p>Specialized micro-instruments are placed through the endoscope to assist the surgeon in decompressing the affected spinal nerves. The surgeon often targets and resects and ablates herniated discs and bone spurs that may be impinging the spinal nerves.<\/p>\n<p>At DISC, our surgeons utilize a side-firing laser and radiofrequency energy often during ESS, as one of many surgical tools and techniques at their disposal.<\/p>\n<p>After surgery, the spinal nerves are decompressed and free from impingement. A steroid injection is often administered through the scope at the spinal level to enhance patient comfort and minimize post-operative inflammatory pain. The scope and cannula are removed, and the surgeon uses one small stitch, applying a small bandage on the skin.<\/p>\n<p>Patients are moved to recovery and monitored for an hour or two before being released to go home.<\/p>\n\n                                                        \n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n        \t\t\t<\/div>\n        \t\t<\/div>\n        \t<\/div>\n\n                            <\/div>\n               \n        \t\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n    <section id=\"accordion-block_499b61d0174852a95e05e556fe8ce3aa\" class=\"faq-accordion wysiwyg section-padding bg-white js-animated-text-container\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-md-12\">\n                    <div class=\"wysiwyg__content\">   \n                                                    <h2><h2>Types of Endoscopic Spine Surgery in Phoenix, AZ<\/h2><br> <p>Endoscopic spine surgery aims to decompress or relieve pressure and irritation on the spinal cord and exiting nerve roots, improving pain.

candidate for endoscopic spine surgery can vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the surgeon\u2019s assessment. However, in general, the following characteristics may make a patient a good candidate for endoscopic spine surgery:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Specific spinal conditions:<\/strong> Endoscopic spine surgery is commonly used to treat conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, foraminal stenosis, disc degeneration, and some types of spinal deformities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Failed conservative treatments: <\/strong>Before considering surgery, patients typically undergo a period of conservative treatments, such as physical therapy, medication, injections, or other nonsurgical interventions. If these treatments have failed to provide adequate relief, endoscopic spine surgery may be considered as an option.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focalized spinal issues: <\/strong>Endoscopic spine surgery is particularly suitable for addressing focalized spinal problems. It is most effective when the issue is localized, and the surgeon can directly access the affected area with the endoscope. For broader spinal conditions or extensive spinal deformities, open surgery may be more appropriate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\"
