Endoscopic Discectomy for Herniated Disc | Turan & Turan Clinic, Turkey

Endoscopic discectomy is a precise surgical procedure designed to treat herniated discs in the spine with minimal invasiveness. Timely hernia removal is essential to prevent further pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. A herniated disc can cause pain, pinched nerves, and loss of sensation. Removing the hernia helps relieve symptoms and prevent complications such as paralysis or loss of function.  Preparation involves thorough pre-operative assessments, including detailed imaging scans such as X-rays and MRIs. This approach allows surgeons to precisely understand the patient's spinal anatomy and plan the surgery accordingly. During the procedure, the patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort and immobility. The surgeon makes a small incision, usually less than an inch long, near the site of the herniated disc. The surgeon visualizes the operation site in detail using an endoscope — a thin, flexible tube with a camera and a light source. This real-time visualization provides accurate navigation and identification of the herniated disc material. Special surgical instruments are passed through the endoscope and used to gently remove material from the herniated disc, which reduces pressure on the spinal nerves. The patient is then closely monitored during recovery, with pain management and physical therapy as needed to support healing and rehabilitation. Due to the clinic's high equipment and many years of experience in treating complex and long-standing cases, spinal surgeons have the skills to perform minimally traumatic surgical interventions with the most minor health risks.
