Endoscopic Brain and Spine Surgery is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat a wide range of brain and spinal conditions with high precision and minimal tissue damage. This procedure is performed using a small camera called an endoscope, which provides a clear, magnified view of the affected area, allowing the surgeon to operate accurately through very small incisions.
At LeftyNeurosurgeon, under the expertise of Dr. Deepak Lohia, endoscopic surgery is used to provide safer treatment, faster recovery, and better outcomes for patients suffering from complex neurological conditions.
Endoscopic techniques are commonly used to treat:
In endoscopic surgery, a small incision is made through which the endoscope and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. The endoscope transmits high-definition images to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to clearly see the affected area and perform the procedure with extreme accuracy.
Because muscles and surrounding tissues are minimally disturbed, the procedure results in less pain and quicker healing compared to traditional open surgery.
Not all brain and spine conditions require endoscopic surgery. Dr. Deepak Lohia carefully evaluates each patient using clinical examination and advanced imaging such as MRI or CT scans to determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Endoscopic surgery is recommended only when it offers clear benefits in terms of safety, effectiveness, and recovery.
Most patients experience quicker recovery after endoscopic surgery compared to traditional procedures. Hospital stay is usually shorter, and many patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks, depending on the condition treated.
Post-surgery care includes follow-up visits, medication, and physiotherapy when required to ensure optimal healing and long-term results.
