When Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery Needed?
Endoscopic Spine Surgery is highly effective for patients experiencing:
Herniated or slipped discs in the neck or lower back
Spinal stenosis causing nerve compression
Sciatica or persistent nerve pain in the legs or arms
Facet joint cysts or painful tears in the disc annulus
How the Surgery Works
At Stavya, the procedure is performed in our Class 100 modular operation theatres, equipped with advanced endoscopic systems and intraoperative neuromonitoring to ensure precision and safety.
The procedure typically involves the following steps:
- A tiny incision (less than 1 cm) is made near the affected area of the spine.
- A specialized HD endoscope with a camera is inserted to visualize the spine on a screen.
- Micro-instruments are passed through the endoscope to remove the herniated disc or bone spur compressing the nerves.
- Surrounding muscles and tissues are preserved gently, without cutting or stripping the muscle from the bone.
- The tiny incision is closed with a single stitch or sterile tape — and most patients return home the same day.

Is ESS Right for You?
Not all back or neck pain cases require endoscopic surgery.
At Stavya, we first recommend non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, medication, or targeted spinal injections.
If surgery becomes necessary, our specialists carefully evaluate whether Endoscopic Spine Surgery or another advanced procedure is the most suitable option based on your spine health, age, and daily lifestyle needs.
