Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Ultra-minimally invasive spine surgery through a tiny incision, for faster recovery from disc and nerve problems.
Overview
About Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Endoscopic spine surgery uses a thin camera (endoscope) passed through a very small incision to remove a herniated disc or relieve nerve compression. It disturbs much less muscle and tissue than open surgery.
Dr. Ravindra Singh completed an endoscopic spine fellowship at Nanoori Hospital, Seoul, South Korea, and is among the few spine surgeons in the region with formal training in this technique.
