Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS) is a prime example of a minimally invasive surgical technique that has revolutionized the treatment of various spinal conditions. ESS utilizes a small incision, typically less than a centimeter, through which a thin, camera-equipped endoscope and specialized instruments are inserted. This approach allows surgeons to visualize and address conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis with remarkable precision while minimizing damage to surrounding muscles, ligaments, and bone. Consequently, patients experience significantly less post-operative pain, reduced blood loss, and a lower risk of infection compared to conventional open procedures, leading to a quicker recovery time and often allowing for outpatient surgery or a much shorter hospital stay.
