01 — The Procedure

What is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?

Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses a small endoscope and specialised instruments passed through a tiny incision. The goal is to address the source of nerve compression while preserving surrounding muscle and tissue.

It is not suitable for every patient. The most appropriate treatment always depends on your individual diagnosis, imaging and clinical evaluation — sometimes conventional or microscopic surgery is the better choice.

Why a neurosurgeon

For spine surgery, a neurosurgeon is the natural choice

The spine is, above all, a nerve structure — it houses the spinal cord and the nerves that control the body. Because a neurosurgeon’s core training is the safe handling of nerves and the spinal cord, most modern minimally invasive spine procedures sit at the centre of their day-to-day practice.

For conditions such as slipped disc, sciatica, cervical disc disease, lumbar canal stenosis and spinal tumours, the operation is fundamentally about decompressing and protecting nerves. A neurosurgeon-led approach brings a nerve-first mindset to every step — from your first evaluation to recovery.

Neurologist or neurosurgeon? Which doctor to see

Orthopedic spine surgeons bring valuable expertise, particularly in spinal deformity. For most conditions Dr. Reddy treats, where nerves and the spinal cord are the central concern, a neurosurgeon-led plan is our recommendation — made openly, together with you.

Nerve-first approach

Neurosurgeons operate on the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves as their core work. That everyday familiarity with delicate neural tissue carries naturally into spine surgery.

Familiar with the microscope & endoscope

The operating microscope and the endoscope are standard tools of neurosurgical training, which is why most endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery is performed with these techniques.

The brain–spine continuum

Conditions that involve both the brain and spine — cervical myelopathy, spinal tumours, complex cord problems — benefit from a single specialist trained across the entire neuraxis, without handovers.

“I recently underwent a three-level cervical disc replacement (C3 to C6) about 20 days ago, and I feel truly fortunate to have been treated by Dr. Arun Reddy. Before making a decision, I consulted multiple neurosurgeons across the city. I was extremely anxious and honestly quite scared about undergoing such a complex spine surgery. Nothing gave me complete confidence until I met Dr. Arun Reddy, whom I visited based on a friend's recommendation. What first impressed me was his practice in Japan, a country known for its exceptionally high and disciplined medical standards. But what truly set him apart was the way he explained my condition and treatment options. He recommended artificial disc replacement — a solution that no other doctor had explained to me. A three-level cervical disc replacement is not a simple procedure; it requires high precision, deep expertise, and great judgment. After speaking with Dr. Arun Reddy, I felt a level of trust and confidence that I hadn't experienced anywhere else. Today, just 20 days after surgery, I can confidently say that choosing him was the best decision I made. Even after the surgery and discharge, his care and responsibility never stopped. I sincerely thank him from the bottom of my heart for giving me a better quality of life and the confidence to move forward without fear.”

08 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about endoscopic spine surgery, consultations and recovery.

What is endoscopic spine surgery?
It is a minimally invasive technique that uses a small endoscope and specialised instruments passed through a tiny incision to treat certain spine conditions, aiming to reduce tissue disruption.
Is endoscopic spine surgery suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on your specific diagnosis, imaging and overall health. The most appropriate treatment is determined after a thorough clinical evaluation.
How is it different from conventional open surgery?
Endoscopic approaches typically use smaller incisions and spare more surrounding muscle. However, conventional or microscopic surgery may be more appropriate in some cases.
Will I need general anaesthesia?
This varies by procedure and patient. Some endoscopic procedures can be performed under regional or local anaesthesia, but the decision is individualised.
How long is the hospital stay?
Many minimally invasive procedures involve a short hospital stay, though this depends on the specific surgery and your recovery.
How soon can I return to work?
Recovery timelines differ by procedure and occupation. Your surgeon will provide personalised guidance during follow-up.
Do all disc problems need surgery?
No. Many disc problems improve with non-surgical care. Surgery is considered when appropriate indications are present.
What conditions can be treated?
Conditions such as slipped disc, sciatica, lumbar canal stenosis, cervical disc disease and selected others may be treated, based on evaluation.
How do I send my MRI for review?
You can use the secure 'Send MRI for Review' option on this site or share reports at your consultation, following privacy guidance.
Is my medical information kept private?
Yes. Any information you share is handled with confidentiality and used only to support your clinical care.
What are the risks of spine surgery?
All surgery carries risks. These are discussed openly with you, along with the potential benefits, before any decision is made.
Can spine problems be prevented?
Good posture, regular activity, core strength and ergonomic care can help spinal health, though not all conditions are preventable.
What should I bring to my consultation?
Please bring your MRI/CT scans, previous reports, current medications and a summary of your symptoms.
Will I need physiotherapy after surgery?
Rehabilitation is often an important part of recovery. A tailored plan may be recommended for you.
How successful is endoscopic spine surgery?
Outcomes depend on correct patient selection and diagnosis. Realistic, individualised expectations are discussed during your evaluation.
Can neck (cervical) problems be treated endoscopically?
Selected cervical conditions may be suitable. The approach is chosen based on your specific pathology.
What is foot drop and can it be treated?
Foot drop is weakness in lifting the foot, often from nerve compression. Timely evaluation is important for the best outcomes.
Do you offer second opinions?
Yes. A second opinion can help you understand your diagnosis and the full range of treatment options available.
