Does Endoscopic Spine Surgery Work for Sciatica in Hyderabad?

Sciatica refers to leg pain, tingling or numbness caused by compression of the sciatic nerve—most often from a slipped (herniated) disc or spinal stenosis. When pressure on the nerve persists, pain can travel from the back or buttock down the leg, sometimes with weakness or difficulty walking. In Hyderabad, minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are frequently used to relieve this pressure through tiny incisions.

How Endoscopic Surgery Treats Sciatica

With endoscopic discectomy or foraminotomy, the surgeon removes only the portion of disc or bone that is narrowing the nerve exit. A 6–8 mm working channel and a high‑definition camera allow precise decompression while preserving normal muscle and ligament structures. Because there is less tissue disruption than traditional open surgery, patients generally walk the same day and go home after a short observation period.

Recovery and Results

• Walking begins within hours; desk work often resumes in 1–3 weeks
• Oral pain medication typically manages discomfort
• A structured physiotherapy plan protects the back while strength returns

Outcomes are best when MRI findings match symptoms and the compressed nerve root is clearly identified. For appropriate candidates, endoscopic procedures have high success in relieving leg pain and numbness while limiting hospital stay.

Who Is a Candidate?

Good candidates typically have leg‑dominant pain from a herniated disc or foraminal stenosis that has not improved with supervised physiotherapy and medication. During consultation, we review your MRI and perform a focused neurological exam to confirm whether endoscopic decompression is the right option.
