Endoscopic spinal surgery is a highly effective new technique used to treat herniated discs, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, and slipped vertebrae. Developed by
Dr. Sebastian Ruetten, a highly respected Germany physician and Head of the Department of Spine Surgery and Pain Therapy at St. Anna Hospital in Germany, the procedure involves an endoscope being inserted through a very small (7.9 mm) incision. A camera at the end of the endoscope allows the surgeon to identify and remove the affected nerves without causing any surgical trauma to the surrounding tissue. This technique reduces patient recovery time and reduces the risk of complications after surgery.
This full-endoscopic spine and cervical surgical technique has become widely accepted by spine surgeons around the world. Bumrungrad Spine Institute headed by its director
Dr. Verapan Kuansongtham has been selected by Dr. Ruetten as Asia’s first and only training center for endoscopic surgery.
