Minimally invasive disc removal using endoscopic spinal canal surgery

The Epiduroscope represents a breakthrough in the field of Non-surgical treatment for herniated disc for spinal column conditions, particularly in cases of Failed back surgery syndrome.

Despite the simplicity of this technique, which involves a fine needle, it requires exceptional skill. Dr. Mohamed Koura is the only physician in the Middle East and one of the few worldwide capable of performing such procedures.

To understand the importance of the epiduroscope, it's crucial to first understand the concept of Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome, which is the modern term for what was previously known as Failed Back Surgery Syndrome.

Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome refers to chronic Lower back pain following spinal surgery, particularly in the lumbar and sacral regions. This pain persists after surgery or recurs after a period of pain relief, resembling pre-surgery pain. The pain may result from surgical failure, adhesions from surgery, or recurrent Herniated disc.

Foraminal Endoscopy Procedure for Lower Back Pain

In cases of small recurrent Herniated disc or adhesions that affect the nerve root and stenosis, foraminal endoscopy may be very useful in Non-surgical treatment for herniated disc without the need for further surgery.

Under local anesthesia and fluoroscopic guidance, the procedure is performed under sedation. A monorail catheter is introduced through a fine needle into the nerve root canal, and an endoscope, camera, and light source are introduced to provide a full view of the nerve root canal, and surgical dissection of adhesions around the nerve roots is then done at the level of stenosis for Lower back pain treatment.

The procedure typically takes about 40 minutes from start to finish.

Advantages and Recovery of Foraminal Endoscopy

• Complete safety for Non-surgical treatment for herniated disc.
• Short operating room time for Lower back pain treatment.
• No need for incisions in the skin or muscles.
• Avoidance of surgical intervention and its complications.
• Discharge from the hospital approximately one hour after the procedure, with no need for prolonged hospitalization.
• Only 24 hours of required rest post-procedure, after which the patient can quickly return to normal activities.
