New Treatment for Herniated Discs

Learn about treatment of herniated discs and a new ultra-minimally invasive technique and what it can mean for your recovery!

Learn how University Hospitals is now offering endoscopic spine surgery for patients needing treatment for back pain due to herniated discs in their spine.

This new ultra-minimally invasive technique allows surgeons to remove the herniated part of the disc through a single incision of less than one centimeter. Lumbar spine disc herniations were previously treated utilizing a microscope and larger incisions to accommodate for visualization. The smaller incision allows for many benefits, including minimal to no blood loss, less to no opioids prescribed post-op, less tissue disruption and bone resection, less post-op pain, faster recovery, and quicker return to work and daily activities when compared to traditional techniques.
