The problem of back pain is a mass problem and lumbar spine pain is an increasingly common diagnostic and treatment problem. More than 40% people in Poland suffer from various types of back pain, and this is fostered by the current lifestyle: lack of time for movement, sport, taking care of one's own health. Long hours spent in the car, at the desk or at the computer are among the reasons why spinal disorders have become one of the most serious diseases of civilisation.

In approximately 90% cases, the cause of spinal pain is a damaged intervertebral disc (disc), leading to discopathy.

Current treatments include microsurgical procedures for spinal diseases, and patients with the condition described are operated on using a large incision with a scalpel. The operation takes approximately two hours and patients must remain in hospital for the next five to 10 days.

Spinal endoscopy in a Silesian clinic - minimally invasive treatment methods

They are characterised by high efficacy in the treatment of intractable root pain that does not resolve after pharmacological treatment, in which small morphological changes of the disc, do not yet qualify the patient for classical surgery.

The surgical procedure of percutaneous endoscopic discectomy involves the reduction or removal of a nucleus pulposus causing pressure on the spinal roots using an endoscope. Spinal endoscopy is completely safe, does not lead to complications, and good qualification and the procedure itself promise full success in the treatment of spinal disorders, particularly discopathy.

Details of the procedure and advantages of neurosurgery

The endoscopic procedure allows the operator great comfort in conducting the procedure by providing a good view of the surgical field. The endoscope is fixed at the level of the vertebral arch and accurately illuminates the operated area. The undoubted advantage of neurosurgery, of which spinal endoscopy is a part, turns out to be a reduction in hospitalisation and rehabilitation time. The procedure itself is very precise, which reduces the risk of complications and speeds up recovery.

Preparation and recovery - spinal endoscopy in Silesia

Patients preparing for spinal endoscopy should follow their doctor's recommendations regarding diet, physical activity and medication. After surgery, it is important to strictly follow those for rehabilitation and avoid overloading the spine. The recovery process is usually shorter compared to traditional surgical methods, allowing a quicker return to daily activities. Many patients who have undergone spinal endoscopy in Silesia have expressed their satisfaction with the results of the procedure, highlighting pain relief and quick recovery. Clinical cases show that this method is effective and safe, as confirmed by numerous studies and statistics.
