Dr. Anthony Yeung has performed more than 2000 of these procedures and originated this technique with the YESS endoscope and taught me his technique.

The abnormal portion of the disc that is creating internal pressure against the annulus and nerve root is removed.

All surgical procedures have potential risks and possible complications and those associated with selective endoscopic discectomy™ surgery are similar but much less common than following open back surgery.

In a rare patient than has a disk that has become a fully extruded and migrated up into the spinal canal. The patient has extensive spinal stenosis he will need an extensive amount of bone removed which is better done with open surgery. If the patient has extensive spinal instability and requires a spinal fusion this must be done with an open procedure. See similar questions...

endoscopic discectomy is a relatively common and simple procedure that many physicians around the world perform. It involves the removal of a portion of the disc to rectify both back and leg pain. The amount of disc removed is approximately 10% of the total of the disc itself and therefore it is really a partial discectomy. See similar questions...

Cervical Endoscopic Discectomy (CED) is recommended to treat herniated/protruded cervical discs. It is performed endoscopically under local anesthesia, using a small probe. CED can also be performed on cervical herniated discs that are extruded or compressing the spinal cord. Anterior Cervical Discectomy (ACD) is recommended to treat extensive osteophytes (bone spurs) with or without disc protrusion. This surgery is performed using a microscope, with a small incision, under general anesthesia. See similar questions...

Lumbar Endoscopic Discectomy (LED) is recommended to treat herniated/protruded lumbar discs with or without annular tears and degenerative disc disease. This procedure is performed endoscopically with a small probe, under local anesthesia and there is no incision. Dr. Schiffer often combines the LED procedure with Thermal Annuloplasty procedure. Microdiscectomy is recommended to treat sequestered free fragment and bone spurs in the lumbar region. See similar questions...

Endoscopic spine surgery is very safe and complications are low. The most common complication is infection and this is usually discitis and related to disc surgeries. The incidence of discitis is similar to conventional surgery and is around 2%. Other risks include nerve damage, bleeding, etc. but these are very rare. Bleeding is usually only around 100 cc's and thus is minimal. We never utilize transfusion systems. See similar questions...

A herniated lumbar disc can press on the nerves in the spine and may cause pain, numbness, tingling or weakness of the leg, called sciatica. Most patients (80% - 90%) with an acute lumbar disc herniation improve without surgery. Surgery is less effective in relieving back pain, but for some patients, especially those with leg pain, surgery may be recommended. Surgery removes part of the herniated disc through a small incision, relieving the pressure on the nerve. See similar questions...
