Endoscopic spine surgery, also known as minimally invasive spine surgery, consists of trying to apply the same principles of ordinary or open surgery, but minimizing the risks and aggressions to the patient's tissues and structures, since there is no need to have surgery open. Thanks to this, a much less annoying postoperative is achieved and a much faster recovery, allowing in some cases a return to work. Usually, this surgery is performed under local anesthesia and allows the patient to be discharged around 24 hours after the procedure. Endoscopic spine surgery is indicated for lumbar disc herniation surgery and canal stenosis surgery.
