Abstract
Endoscopic discectomy represents a significant advancement in the treatment of intervertebral disc herniation. This minimally invasive technique offers patients a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional open surgery, with reduced risk of complications, shorter recovery time, and minimal tissue damage. The procedure involves using an endoscope to visualize and remove the herniated disc material with precision, allowing for smaller incisions and faster recovery compared to conventional approaches. This paper discusses the benefits, challenges, and clinical outcomes of endoscopic discectomy, with a focus on lumbar disc herniation. The results of several clinical studies are analyzed, revealing the procedure's effectiveness in reducing pain, enhancing function, and improving quality of life for patients. The article also examines patient selection criteria, surgical techniques, and the advantages of endoscopic discectomy in reducing the incidence of recurrence and complications. Overall, endoscopic discectomy has proven to be a reliable and effective option for treating lumbar disc herniation, offering a modern, patient-friendly approach that minimizes the burden of surgery and accelerates recovery.
