DESTANDAU Micro-Endoscopic Approach with the ENDOSPINE® Operating tube

Lumbar disc herniations and spinal canal stenoses are very common problems. If surgery is required, the standard method employs a posterior approach to the spine. The ENDOSPINE® operating tube permits endoscopic treatment of all types of herniated discs – from medial to extreme lateral prolapse – both in the lumbar and the cervical spine. Moreover, spinal canal stenoses can be decompressed.

Particularly in obese patients and in deep pathologies, e.g. in foraminal disc herniation, the ENDOSPINE® instruments permit a standard surgical approach with a smaller skin incision.

Compared with conventional procedures, the entire surgical site is always in view of the operator thanks to the integrated telescope, and extremely close access to the region is possible.

Advantages:  

• Anatomical visualization that is second-to-none
• Minimization of bone resection
• Superior aesthetic results
• Faster patient recovery
• Faster return to prior activities
• Unmatched exposure
• Minimized bone resection
