What operations can be done endoscopically?

Endoscopic surgery can address both disc prolapse and to a considerable degree nerve root canal stenosis.

The two operations are therefore:

  1. Endoscopic Discectomy
  2. Endoscopic Foraminotomy

Severe central canal stenosis is not amenable to this technique and open microdiscectomy is the preferred method there.
