Full-endoscopic procedures

Full-endoscopic Procedures

Minimally invasive spine surgery compares as effectively as open spine surgery, but results in less trauma, shorter recovery times and shorter hospital stays. Instead of traditional large surgical incisions, only small incisions are needed.

Faster Recovery

Faster recovery time compared to more invasive surgical approaches

Smaller Surgical Incisions

Minimally traumatization of surrounding soft tissue and bone structures

Less Pain after Surgery

Partial and selective diskectomy to reduce the risk of recurrences

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

In full-endoscopic spine surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision near the area of the spine to be treated and then passes a tube-shaped instrument through the muscles down to the spine. Inserting the instrument creates a tunnel to the problem area on the spine and keeps the muscles open.

Using small instruments that fit through the centre of the created tubular working channel, the surgeon can access the problem area of the spine to perform the surgery.

The quality of imaging in endoscopic spine surgery is a prerequisite for safe surgery. The new 4K camera system from RIWOspine offers the latest imaging technology for endoscopic spine surgery. Thanks to state-of-the-art video technology, the camera systems make the finest structures appear clearly. A brilliant visual impression improves spatial orientation and depth effect and facilitates the surgical procedure in spinal surgery.

After the procedure is completed, the doctor removes the tubular working channel and the muscles return to their original position.
