Endoscopic Spine Surgery – FAQs

What is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?

Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive, keyhole spine procedure performed through a very small incision using a camera. It treats slip disc, sciatica, and nerve compression with less pain, minimal blood loss and faster recovery.

Is endoscopic spine surgery safe?

Yes. It is one of the safest and most modern spine surgeries with minimal muscle damage, very small incision, less blood loss, early walking and faster healing.

What conditions can be treated with endoscopic spine surgery?

Slip disc, sciatica, herniated disc, cervical/lumbar radiculopathy, spinal canal stenosis (selected cases), nerve compression causing leg or arm pain.

What are the benefits of endoscopic spine surgery?

Tiny incision (8–10 mm), less pain, minimal blood loss, same-day walking, faster recovery, low infection risk, quick return to work, very small scar.

How long is the recovery after endoscopic spine surgery?

Most patients walk on the same day, resume routine activities in 2–5 days and return to work within 1–2 weeks.

Is endoscopic surgery better than open surgery?

For slip disc and nerve compression, YES. It offers faster recovery, less pain, less tissue damage, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stay.

Will the pain return after endoscopic surgery?

Most patients remain pain-free long term. Recurrence risk is low and can be reduced further with posture correction and physiotherapy.

Spine & Back Pain – FAQs

When should I see a spine specialist?

If pain lasts more than 2 weeks, or if you have leg pain, tingling, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking, consult immediately.

Is surgery the only treatment for back pain?

Joint Replacement – FAQs

When is knee replacement necessary?

When knee pain limits daily activities, X-rays show bone-on-bone arthritis, and there is no relief with medicines, injections or physiotherapy.

How long does a knee replacement last?

Is knee replacement painful?

With modern anesthesia and techniques, pain is significantly reduced. Most patients walk the next day after surgery.

Can both knees be replaced together?

Yes, depending on medical fitness and evaluation, both knees can be replaced in one sitting.

How long does recovery take after joint replacement?

Walking starts next day. Daily activities resume in 3–4 weeks. Full recovery takes 2–3 months.

General Orthopedic – FAQs

Do all fractures need surgery?

No. Some fractures heal with plaster. Surgery is required only when bones are displaced, the joint is involved, multiple fragments exist, or alignment cannot be maintained.

When is physiotherapy needed?

Physiotherapy improves mobility, strength, flexibility and recovery. It is essential after injuries and surgeries for complete healing.

What should I do immediately after a sports injury?

Follow R.I.C.E: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Avoid heat or massage in the first 48 hours.

Do I need an MRI for every back or joint pain?

No. MRI is needed only for severe, persistent pain, nerve symptoms, trauma or red-flag symptoms.
