The other one is Spinal canal stenosos or Sciatica in which the diameter of the spinal canal is decreased due to aging process. When age advances the canal dimension decreases due to weakness of the bone and side projection, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and disc degenaration. In both slipped disc and sciatica, spinal cord or nerve roots are compressed.

The pain radiates from back to legs and toes. Tingling and numbness starts in legs and toes. During walking person feels tightness in legs and the walking distance reduces. Sometimes control over urine lost, is also called sciatica syndrome. At times negligence of petty symptoms leads to complete loss of sensation of toes and foot and loss of power of foot which is otherwise called footdrop.

The Endospic Surgery is the most advanced and successful technique for treatment of Slipped disc and Sciatica. A special localizing device is used to localize the disease site with the help of image intensifier. The operating tube is placed on the laminae through a small 16 to 18mm incision. The surgeon’s eye is focused right inside the body close to the problem. The working insert mounted in the tube of having 4 channels, for 4mm telescope, 4mm suction tube, 8mm operating instruments channel and the last one for nerve root retractor..

The entire procedure is performed under video-endospic monitor through high definition camera and the nerve is guarded by nerve root retractor, so almost nil chance of injuring the nerve. There will be minimal blood loss and no stitches required. It can move from left to right below the spinous process and very easily decompress bilateral nerve roots at multiple levels. Endospine minimizes post operative discomfort and allow for rapid resumption of normal physical activities including sports.
