Back and neck pain caused by herniated discs or spinal stenosis can affect quality of life and mobility. With advances in medical technology, Full Endoscopic Spine Surgery now offers patients a safer and more effective alternative to traditional open surgery.
This innovative technique—available at Thainakarin Hospital—uses a high-definition endoscopic camera to help Spine surgeons precisely target the affected area through a small incision, resulting in faster recovery and minimal tissue damage.
What Is Full Endoscopic Spine Surgery ?
Full Endoscopic Spine Surgery is a form of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery . Instead of large incisions, the surgeon uses a tiny tube (around 7.9 mm in diameter) that houses a camera lens, water channel, and optical fibers to provide a clear view of the spine.
During the procedure:
- A small incision is made to insert the endoscope.
- The camera transmits real-time images to a monitor.
- The surgeon removes or repairs the problematic disc or tissue with great precision.
This results in less bleeding, minimal muscle injury, and faster healing compared to conventional open spine surgery.
Conditions That Can Be Treated with Endoscopic Spine Surgery
- Herniated discs (lumbar or cervical spine)
- Spinal stenosis (lateral recess or central)
- Facet cysts
- Degenerative disc disease causing nerve compression
Full endoscopic techniques deliver surgical outcomes equivalent to traditional open surgery but with a much gentler approach.
Key Advantages of Full Endoscopic Spine Surgery

🔹 Less pain: Faster recovery and shorter hospital stays
