Endoscopic Spine Surgery - A New Era in Back Pain Relief
June 30, 2026
Sophie Zhou, MD, is now offering endoscopic spine surgery for patients suffering from herniated discs, an advanced, ultra-minimally invasive procedure available at University Hospitals.
Using Arthrex’s innovative technology, surgeons can remove the herniated portion of a disc through a single incision less than one centimeter in size. This is a major advancement compared to traditional spine surgery, which typically requires larger incisions and more tissue disruption.
Benefits of endoscopic spine surgery may include:
- Minimal to no blood loss
- Reduced need for opioids after surgery
- Less disruption to muscles and bone
- Less post-operative pain
- Faster recovery
- Quicker return to work and daily activities
If you or someone you know is living with back pain from a herniated disc, this is an opportunity to learn about a cutting-edge treatment option that could make a real difference.
