MicroEndoscopic Discetomy System
Through the MicroEndoscopic Discetomy System, the surgeon removes ruptured portions of the spinal disc and disc fragments that cause the patient pain. Endoscopic surgical techniques and advanced operating room equipment allow surgeons to relieve pressure on one or more spinal nerve roots causing less trauma to the patient’s muscle structure. Surgery and recovery time is reduced. Patients regain function within hours of their surgery and are usually discharged the same day.
