At Stavya Spine Hospital, we understand that spine surgery can feel overwhelming. That’s why we bring you Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS) — a highly advanced procedure that allows surgeons to treat spinal problems through a cut smaller than 1 cm, using a special camera and micro-instruments.
This approach avoids major muscle cutting, reduces blood loss, and gives patients faster recovery compared to traditional spine surgeries. Many people walk within hours of the procedure and are discharged the same day.
Conditions Treated with Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Our expert team performs ESS for conditions like:
- Slipped or herniated discs (sciatica/leg pain)
- Nerve compression causing tingling or weakness
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Recurrent disc problems (re-do surgeries)
- Selected cases of chronic back and leg pain
Not every patient requires endoscopy, but when appropriate, it offers one of the safest and least disruptive ways to treat spine problems.
What Happens During Endoscopic Surgery?
At Stavya, endoscopic spine surgery is performed in our Class 100 modular operation theatres
with the latest navigation and imaging systems.
Here’s what typically happens:
- A small cut (less than 1 cm) is made on the back.
- A thin tube with an endoscope (camera + light) is gently guided to the affected disc or nerve.
- Surgeons use high-definition visuals and precision instruments to remove disc fragments or free up nerves.
- The cut is closed with a tiny stitch or bandage — leaving almost no scar.
Because muscles and tissues are hardly disturbed, patients usually walk the same day and return to work in just a few days.

Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery Right for You?
Not all spine conditions are suitable for endoscopy. At Stavya, we always begin with conservative treatments like medication, physiotherapy, or spinal injections.
