Minimally invasive endoscopic herniated disc treatment (DISC-FX)

There are various reasons behind the prevalence of back problems and spinal pains, such as prolonged improper sitting, lifting heavy objects incorrectly, among others. However, treatment methods for these pains vary according to the degree and severity of the problem, including physical therapy, medication, non-surgical interventions, and even surgery.

Despite the diversity of treatment methods, non-surgical intervention is often preferable. Among the best of these non-surgical interventions is the Minimally invasive endoscopic known as Disc Fx. Dr. Mohammed Koura is credited with introducing this technique and is considered a leading expert in this field. He stays updated on the latest therapeutic technologies through his participation in various international conferences alongside top doctors and experts from around the world.

In the following paragraphs, we will shed light on the Minimally invasive endoscopic (DISC-FX) technique, outlining its steps, suitable patients, as well as its advantages and potential complications.

What is Minimally Invasive Endoscope (Disc-FX)?

DISC-FX is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to access the damaged disc in the spine without injuring surrounding tissues, nerves, or disc anatomy. This technique aims to effectively treat disc herniation, thereby alleviating back pain.

Dr. Mohammed Koura’s center was the first to introduce the DISC-FX technique for treating spinal pain. This system is characterized by its speed and safety, demonstrating effectiveness in disc removal in cases of herniated nucleus pulposus.

Who needs Minimally Invasive Endoscope (Disc-FX)?

The doctor may recommend Minimally invasive endoscopy technique for some patients in the following cases:

• Patients suffering from painful herniated discs.
• Those with small disc protrusions and annular tears.
• Patients experiencing lumbar disc herniation accompanied by lower back pain or pain radiating down the leg.
• Cases of disc herniation resulting from mechanical pressure on the nerve.
• Individuals suffering from sciatica.
• If back pain is caused by internal disc disruption (DISCOGENIC PAIN).

What are the steps of Minimally Invasive Endoscope (Disc-FX)?

The steps of this technique include:

• Administering local anesthesia to the patient rather than general anesthesia inside the operating room to ensure comprehensive sterilization.
• After local anesthesia, the doctor inserts a small needle into the disc under fluoroscopic guidance to ensure reaching the protruding part of the disc intended for removal.
• Subsequently, a precise tool is used under fluoroscopic guidance to remove the protruding part of the disc causing pain.
• The doctor then seals the disc to prevent its recurrence and the occurrence of other problems in the future.

What is the recovery time after Minimally Invasive Endoscope (DISC-FX) for Disc Herniation?

After undergoing minimally invasive endoscopy technique (DISC-FX) for disc herniation, patients can typically leave within 30 minutes post-procedure and resume their daily activities without experiencing significant pain within 48 hours.

What are the advantages of Minimally Invasive Endoscope (DISC-FX) for Disc Herniation?

There are several advantages to minimally invasive endoscopic technique, making it superior to traditional surgery, including:

• Fast, safe, and easy.
• Provides definitive treatment rather than temporary relief.
• Requires only a small incision in the skin, with no need for stitches.
• No post-procedure pains.
• Short procedure duration.
• Utilizes local anesthesia.
• Early return to regular activities within 3 days.
• No complications such as bleeding, blood transfusion, inflammation, or infection.
• Suitable for all ages, including elderly patients and those with obesity.

What are the complications of Minimally Invasive Endoscope (Disc-FX)?

Complications of minimally invasive endoscopic technique (DISC-FX) are extremely rare, as this technique is considered entirely safe. It involves only a small skin incision, minimizing the risk of bleeding or infections post-procedure. Furthermore, there is virtually no chance of infection.

In conclusion, after learning about the treatment of disc herniation using minimally invasive endoscopic technique (DISC-FX). I advise you to consider adopting a healthy lifestyle to aid in your recovery. It is essential to adhere to all your doctor's instructions to maintain your health.

Among these instructions are losing excess weight, avoiding heavy lifting, and maintaining proper posture.
