Endoscopic spine surgery is an advanced, minimally invasive way to treat common spine problems such as slipped disc, sciatica, nerve compression and lumbar canal stenosis. At Hari Ram Kohli Memorial Hospital, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, we use two leading techniques — Transforaminal Endoscopy (TFE) and Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy (UBE). These approaches allow surgeons to treat the problem through very small incisions, with faster recovery and minimal disruption to normal tissues.

Transforaminal Endoscopy (TFE)

TFE is performed through the natural opening of the spine (foramen). It is especially useful for lumbar disc herniation and sciatica. A small incision is made under local anaesthesia, and a thin endoscope is used to remove the slipped disc material and decompress the nerve.

Benefits for patients:

• Usually done under local anaesthesia
• Very small incision
• Early walking and early discharge
• Spinal muscles and bones remain preserved

Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy (UBE)

UBE uses two small portals — one for the camera and one for surgical instruments. This gives a wide, clear view of the spine and allows precise decompression for conditions such as lumbar canal stenosis and foraminal stenosis. UBE can also be used for disc herniations in the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine.

Benefits for patients:

• Excellent visualisation for accurate surgery
• Minimal tissue damage
• Suitable for multiple spine levels
• Faster return to daily activities

Why Patients Prefer Endoscopic Spine Surgery

• Minimally Invasive: Muscles are gently separated, not cut.
• Quick Recovery: Many patients resume routine work within days.
• Less Pain: Small incisions result in lower postoperative discomfort.
• Day-care Procedure: Selected patients go home the same day.

Endoscopic spine surgery (TFE and UBE) offers a modern, safer alternative to traditional open surgery. It provides effective nerve decompression with less pain, smaller scars and faster healing — especially helpful for individuals with active lifestyles or those seeking quicker recovery.

Patients in Dehradun, Uttarakhand experiencing persistent leg pain, sciatica, back pain, or numbness may benefit from an endoscopic spine evaluation.
