Discoscopy has a wide range of indications and is capable of treating most types of herniated discs as well as some bony lesions such as spinal stenosis and foraminal stenosis.
Intervertebral discoscopy is an internationally advanced surgical procedure. It has the advantages of wide indications, less trauma, high safety, less bleeding, shorter operation time, shorter recovery period, and lower comprehensive treatment cost compared with traditional open surgery.
This surgical method can remove the enlarged nucleus pulposus tissue, thickened intervertebral ligaments, and hyperplastic synovial processes and other foci of compression of nerves, thus providing a method and possibility of eradicating herniated discs, as well as spinal stenosis and intervertebral foraminal stenosis.
The indications for lumbar discoscopy require consultation with a physician for more comprehensive guidance.
