What is the cost for an endoscopic discectomy procedure?

A discectomy is at its most basic definition, removal of a vertebral disc. A discectomy may be performed in the lumbar, or lower back region, the thoracic, or middle back, and cervical or neck regions of the spine.

The discectomy procedure itself defines removal of a vertebral disc and may be used in the:

lumbar, or lower back region
thoracic, or middle back
cervical or neck regions

Endoscopic Discectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique that utilizes an endoscope to treat herniated or degenerative discs that are a contributing factor to leg and back pain. The endoscope allows the surgeon to use a “keyhole” incision to access the herniated disc. Muscle and tissue are dilated rather than being cut when accessing the disc. The excellent visualization via the endoscope permits the surgeon to selectively remove a portion of the herniated disc that is contributing to the patients’ leg and back pain.

This procedure leads to:

Less tissue destruction
Less postoperative pain
Quicker recovery times
Earlier rehabilitation
Avoidance of general anesthesia
