Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slip disc and how is it treated?
A slip disc (herniated disc) occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the outer ring. Dr. Sayuj Krishnan specializes in endoscopic discectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that removes the herniated portion through a tiny 6-8mm incision, allowing same-day discharge and faster recovery.
How long does endoscopic discectomy take?
The endoscopic discectomy procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes. Most patients can walk the same day and return to desk work within 1-2 weeks. Physical jobs may require 4-8 weeks with a graded return plan.
What are the benefits of endoscopic discectomy over traditional surgery?
Endoscopic discectomy offers several advantages: smaller incision (6-8mm vs 3-4 inches), less muscle damage, minimal blood loss, same-day discharge, faster recovery, and reduced risk of complications. The procedure preserves normal spinal anatomy while effectively treating the herniated disc.
Who is a candidate for endoscopic discectomy?
Candidates include patients with leg-dominant pain from herniated discs who haven't improved with conservative treatment (medications, physiotherapy). Dr. Krishnan evaluates each case individually, considering MRI findings, symptoms, and overall health to determine the best treatment approach.
What is the success rate of endoscopic discectomy?
Endoscopic discectomy has a high success rate of 85-95% for appropriate candidates. Success depends on proper patient selection, surgeon experience, and following post-operative care instructions. Dr. Krishnan's extensive experience in minimally invasive spine surgery ensures optimal outcomes.
