Endoscopic Spine Surgery (IMAGE)
Caption
Arthrex's technology allows surgeons to remove the herniated part of the disc through a single incision of less than one centimeter. Lumbar spine disc herniations were previously treated utilizing a microscope and larger incisions to accommodate for visualization. The smaller incision allows for many benefits, including minimal to no blood loss, less to no opioids prescribed post-op, less tissue disruption and bone resection, less post-op pain, faster recovery, and quicker return to work and daily activities when compared to traditional techniques.
