Lower Risk of Infection

“Endoscopic Lumbar Hernia is a current concept. It is also called full closed hernia surgery. It's a surgery we did with the camera system. We make a 5 mm incision on the patient's skin. Then we place the camera. The system and circuit enter through this hole. It is not necessary to strip the muscles and remove the bone tissue. We reach the hernia tissue by moving forward in a way that will damage less muscle tissue. We safely remove the hernia and end the operation without damaging the nerves. Smaller incisions are made compared to microsurgery operations that used a microscope before. Bleeding does not occur. Therefore, the patient's risk of injury and infection is much lower. There is no risk associated with the surgical technique. We get 99 percent successful results. However, of course, the operation should be performed by an experienced surgeon.
Endoscopic lumbar hernia surgeries; It can be done with general anesthesia, spinal anesthesia and local anesthesia depending on the situation.
Patient Discharged Same Day
Since the incision was more in the microsurgical herniated disc surgeries we performed before, the healing process was also longer. In the operation, we were giving the patients a serious rest for 10 days. However, they were able to return to work a month later. Those who worked in heavy work had to rest for at least 2-3 months.
In this method, the patient; He can walk 2 hours after the operation, can go home 6 hours later, and is discharged on the same day. He can take a shower the next day. He returns to his normal life in 2 days. If the patient is an office worker, he can go to work after 3-4 days. If he works hard, he can start his job after a month.”
